Russian companies have been looting industrial goods, including steel, coal, pig iron, and cargo containers, from factories in the occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion. The estimated value of the goods plundered is over $15 million. The Western-sanctioned Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) seized nearly $100,000 worth of freight containers in Mariupol, aided by the Belarus-based Mogilev Metallurgical Factory. The investigative report also revealed that the shipment of Ukrainian coal into Russia was facilitated mainly by the Taltek Group, a coal-mining and transportation company whose president Yuri Kocherinsky lives near Russian general Sergei Surovikin in the elite Rublyovka neighborhood in Moscow’s suburbs.
