Grain remaining in Mariupol port terminal on fire

In the seaport of Mariupol, the city on the Sea of Azov, captured by Russian forces, the remaining bulk of grain is burning in the terminal.

That’s according to Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol in exile, Ukrinform reports.

"In the Mariupol port, what’s left of grain stored in the terminal is on fire. Again. Whether it is a consequence of the occupiers' stupidity or whether it is a deliberate action on the part of the partisans has not been reported. Although we know the truth. The main thing is that Ukrainian grain will not go to Russia. And it’s not important, due to whose actions it’s going to be this way," Andryushchenko wrote.

Also, the Russian invaders have resumed operations in Mariupol quarries, exporting Ukrainian granite to Russia and temporarily occupied Crimea.
