The Russians exported 140,000 tons of stolen grain and metal through the port of Mariupol.

The Russians use the occupied ports on the coast of the Sea of Azov, Mariupol and Berdyansk, to export stolen products from the temporarily occupied territories, as well as for military purposes – delivering weapons and equipment.

As for the routes of illegal export of goods, the Russians themselves inform that ships go from Mariupol to the ports of Rostov-on-Don, Caucasus, Azov, and Sevastopol. In the future, they plan to open routes to Yeisk and Novorossiysk.
