Russia restores maritime navigation in occupied Mariupol and brings in ammunition
Unloading and loading ships in the port of Mariupol
In the temporarily occupied Mariupol, Russians have resumed maritime navigation. Three vessels entered the port, one of which delivered ammunition, while the others were loading coal and grain.

Russian occupation forces have resumed maritime navigation in the port of Mariupol, where three ships entered at once over the weekend. This was reported by the head of the Centre for Occupation Studies Petr Andriushchenko, who posted the relevant photos from the port.

According to him, all the vessels arrived on Saturday and Sunday. Two of them were used to load coking coal, and another one was placed by the Russians under the port elevator, where grain is loaded. Thus, the occupiers continue to use the port of Mariupol as a logistics hub for the export of resources from the temporarily occupied territories.

Andriushchenko drew special attention to a ship that entered the port on the morning of Sunday 11 January. According to available information, it delivered ammunition. At night, the Russian military began to take this ammunition out of Mariupol by rail and truck.

Experts note that the resumption of maritime navigation in the occupied city is evidence of Russia's attempts to strengthen military and economic logistics in southern Ukraine, despite the constant risks to shipping and infrastructure.
