The authorities of Mariupol, in the southeast of Ukraine, have accused Russia on Monday of the theft on Sunday of a Ukrainian cargo ship with more than 2,000 tons of grain, which has been transported to the city of Rostov-on-Don.

This has been announced by the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, in his Telegram account, from where he has demanded that the Russian authorities comply with their part of the “grain agreement”.

It is not the first time that Russia has transported stolen grain from the cargo terminals of the Mariupol port, according to alerts from the Ukrainian authorities, who have also denounced that the regions surrounding this city under Russian occupation have resumed work in the mines to steal granite and move it to the Crimea.
