According to preliminary information, on October 11, russian invaders re-moored a bulk carrier closer to a port crane to enable direct loading from railcars. Earlier, it was loaded with metal cargo for two days in a row. The bulk carrier is due to leave the port's waters soon.
The city council reminded that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, russians have been actively using the seaport in Mariupol to export loot and meet the military needs of their army.
