Mariupol’s Azovstal plant is "too badly destroyed" to function, Russian official

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Mariupol’s Azovstal plant is too badly damaged to be restored to a functioning state, a Russian official tasked with government construction projects said Tuesday. "Definitely no one will restore Azovstal, because to do it on the scale of that Soviet enterprise, as it was before, this is impossible and unprofitable. It was too badly destroyed during the hostilities," said Yulia Maksimova, head of state-owned company Roskapstroy. According to Maksimova, the region's economy will be "partially revised" and "new directions will be developed."
