According to Aksakov, the launch of the cargo movement will reduce the logistics of delivery of products and goods to the Peninsula. "Savings of billions of rubles, which in the end will shift to the wallets of the Crimean people. I think that it is not immediately obvious within six months to nine months, Crimeans will feel it. And when will be launched the rail transport, and it is much cheaper, then all the problems associated with the difference of prices in the Crimea and on the mainland, more than Crimeans will not feel including in your wallet", — said Aksakov told reporters.
