On April 7, the “press service” of the criminal “Crimean Railway” shared extremely interesting “statistics”, according to which, since the beginning of 2023, aggressor-controlled trains have illegally transported about two million passengers in the occupied Crimea and in the opposite direction, and “in suburban traffic – more than 1.3 million passengers, and in the far – about 600 thousand passengers”.
Such a “valley” of an illegal “suburb” clearly does not correspond to the only “corresponding” illegal means of crossing the Kerch Strait, the Kerch-Anapa electric train, which, according to a simple calculation, should then carry more than 10 thousand people a day, that is, more than 2 thousand in one direction per flight. Obviously, the occupiers considered both “suburbs” and “long-distance communication” “in the whole of the peninsula”, but even if this is not so, it turns out that 100 thousand people are illegally transported in one direction in a month by long-distance trains.
That is, as it was repeatedly said in 2022, even if all additional trains are full, then in three months of summer they can illegally deliver no more than 800 thousand people to Crimea in the maximum possible schedule, which does not fit in with “millions of tourists”
Even more interesting is the thesis of the “press service” that “in the first quarter of 2023, the transportation of grain, groupage cargo, as well as iron and non-ferrous ore increased” with a total volume of allegedly “1,708 thousand tons of cargo”.
No ore is mined in the Crimea, and its only illegal consumer can be considered the infamous “Titan” plant, regarding ilmenite. Iron ore on the peninsula is also not processed, and thus can either go to criminal transfer from the Crimean ports, which, incidentally, is unlikely for this type of raw material.
It is more likely that the Russian invaders are criminally exporting through the peninsula to the Russian Federation ore illegally mined in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhya Region from the quarries in Dniprorudne.
