The Russian Federation began preparatory work for the further construction of the railway, through which Moscow planned to connect Rostov-on-Don with Crimea through the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions.

Two tracks may drawn from the corresponding "nodes" to the east.
