Vessels from this so-called fleet do not go to international ports. The Russians are using it with AIS turned off, violating international maritime law. With the help of the shadow fleet, the Russians are plundering Ukrainian ports, in particular in Mariupol and Berdyansk. On August 31, the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk stated this on the air of the telethon.
All stolen occupiers “legalize” for further export. The enemy is offering the loot in Ukraine as aid to African countries.
They call at the ports of Berdyansk, Mariupol… They load grain and metal there. Then they reload it to their ports and thus try to legalize it in order to export it later,” he said.
Recall that the Ukrainian authorities of Mariupol reported that the Russian invaders are turning the city port into a military base. In August, for the first time since the occupation, a Russian warship entered and moored in the port of Mariupol. Also, four combat helicopters of different classes were recorded on the territory of the port.
