The so-called authorities in Crimea have said that they will develop the economy of the occupied peninsula and southern Russia with the help of the Kherson railway line.

Quote from Konstantinov: "Use of the railway line to Crimea via Kherson Oblast will be a new driver for the development of the economy of the southern regions of Russia, because this route is shorter than via Krasnodar."

Details: He also said that Crimea would adopt a law on the "nationalisation of the property of Ukrainian oligarchs".

The Russian invaders explained this decision as "restoring moral justice": residents of the peninsula are allegedly unhappy that "oligarchs are making money in Crimea".
