The tugboat Antey belonging to the sub-sanctioned shipping company Reka-More arrived at the port of Mariupol from Rostov. This is reported by the service's data for tracking the location of ships Marine Traffic.

Recall that the general director of the Metinvest company, Yuri Ryzhenkov, said that the Russians were stealing steel from factories and ports in the occupied regions. According to him, the steel is transported to Russia and then sold on domestic markets or to countries in Africa and Asia. Ryzhenkov estimated the total amount of damage at $600 million.
Previously, Azovstal and PJSC «Mariupol Metallurgical Plant named after Ilyich» appealed to the Office of the Prosecutor General with a request to open criminal proceedings against Russian invaders who stole metal products from Mariupol.
The company also provided evidence that the Russian military and terrorist groups they control are taking products out of the port.
The continued illegal exploitation of the Mariupol port and the export of metallurgical products is a crime under the laws of Ukraine and a gross violation of the rules and customs of war following international law.
