The invaders claim that over the past three months, 50 thousand tons of cargo have been taken out of the port of Mariupol, UNN reports, citing the Mariupol City Council.
The occupiers mostly export stolen grain to Russia. In particular, according to the so-called "Ministry of Transport of the DPR," a ship with 7,600 tons of grain was recently sent to a Russian port.

According to the Mariupol Resistance, the occupiers have allegedly launched a railroad in the direction of the port in a test mode. It is likely that they are practicing a test run from Ilyich Iron and Steel Works to both export scrap metal by sea and supply weapons to the front.
"The occupiers are exploiting Mariupol and the adjacent occupied territories to the maximum. After the occupation of the city, they took out the surviving equipment, installations and even museum exhibits, and continue to export Ukrainian metal and grain. Everything goes to Russia, which uses it for its economic needs," said Vadym Boychenko, mayor of Mariupol.
