Crimea is an island. There cannot be any “overland rail” onto it.
Crimea is a peninsula, not an island. Ask ChatGPT.
If Crimea were an island, it could have become the Russian Formosa/Taiwan back in Soviet days. That was the premise for a Russian novel fifty years ago. But it isn’t an island.
It’s not an island. It’s a peninsula. And yes, rail does go there. Think about it, when the Ukes cut off the fresh water canal before the war...that water was coming from the Dnieper river from central Ukraine. That water didn’t have to cross a Black Sea to get to Crimea.

Look at a good map. It is not an island, and there is a rail line there already.
