Russian vessels at Mariupol seaport stealing metal.

Ukraine on Saturday criticized Russia for sending a ship to the captured Ukrainian city of Mariupol to load a shipment of metal bound for Russia. The Ukrainian parliament’s commissioner for human rights, Liudmyla Denisova, said the Russians were “sending 3,000 tons of metal products on the first ship from Mariupol to Rostov-on-Don (in Russia).” The Mariupol seaport administration said the vessel would load 2,700 tons of metal and depart for Rostov-on-Don on Monday. Denisova claims that the Mariupol port housed about 200,000 tons of metal and cast iron worth $170M before Russia invaded Ukraine.
