Russia and China's alleged plans to build an underwater tule , connecting Russia with the occupied Crimea seem unviable. This was discussed in telethon, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, according to a correspondent of UNN .
This is not even a subway tunnel. This is a much larger structure and of course it is impossible. It is also impossible to hide such large-scale projects. You don't even need satellite imagery for this. Therefore, regardless of whether this situation is true or planned, it is impossible to hide it. Especially considering that such projects take years to complete even in fairly developed countries, not to mention the price. Therefore, it is currently impossible to verify this information, but the project itself does not look viable
Details
Recently The Washington post citing intercepted emails provided by the Ukrainian side reported on secret negotiations between between Russia and China about plans to build an underwater tunnel that would connect Russia with occupied Crimea to protect the transportation route from Ukrainian attacks.
China tried to maintain secrecy and agreed to the project only under the condition of "strictly ensuring complete confidentiality". However, today Dmytro Pletenchuk said that it is impossible to hide such a large-scale project. In addition, the plan itself looks unrealistic, because such construction projects cost billions of dollars and take years to complete.
As a reminder
As reported by UNN, Russia and China are discussing the construction of an underwater tunnel to the occupied Crimea, the Washington Post writes that Russian and Chinese businessmen associated with the government are holding secret talks. Reporting the details of the alleged project, the American newspaper cites information from Ukrainian officials, while experts interviewed by the newspaper noted the high cost and difficulty of building such a project in a war zone.
