The invaders are preparing the port of Mariupol to receive military boats, — Andryuschenko

The corresponding work is being carried out near the former ship repair yard.
Russian troops in the temporarily occupied territory of Mariupol are re-equipping the local port for the needs of the fleet. This was reported by the head of the Center for the Study of the Occupation, Petro Andryushchenko.
According to him, in addition to the already known dredging, the port has begun active work in the area of the berth near the former Ship Repair Plant. There, infrastructure is being prepared to receive military boats.
Andryushchenko notes that the situation is gradually clarifying the general plan of the occupiers – this is about placing part of the Black Sea Fleet in Mariupol. For this purpose, large-scale preparatory work is being carried out, including dredging.
Earlier, USM wrote that the occupiers in the port of Mariupol are preparing a sea checkpoint across the “border of the Russian Federation.”
