Putin leads the train from Crimean to Moscow

During the trip that began in Kerch, Crime, on a train with only three cars to start, Putin spent time drinking tea with the engineers of the project that has cost $3.6m. The railway bridge, which Putin called amazing, is 19km long. The automotive bridge opened in May last year when the stamp itself also drove a truck through it.

The full trainer from the western north city of St. Petersburg to the Crimean port city of Sevastopol covers a distance of 2,500km. Putin said the bridge would restore railway ties to crime, interrupted in 2014, when Moscow annexed the peninsula, sparking a separatist conflict that still rages on eastern Ukraine and has so far claimed about 13 thousand lives.
