Please pray for the sea port town of Mariupol, Ukraine that protects the next strategic line against Pro-Russian rebels that took a town just over the rolling hills in Donetsk. Metinvest company is Ukraines largest steel-maker. Metivnests Ilyich plant accounts for 40 pct of Metinvest crude steel. MARIUPOL, Ukraine, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The war is being fought just over the hills. Civilians have started to flee the city. But the men of the vast Ilyich iron and steel works in the Ukrainain port of Mariupol are still in place, pouring molten steel, running the rolling mill and pledging to defend their factory and town from an onslaught by pro-Russian rebels. Mariupol, a port of around half a million people, is the next big city in the path of advancing rebels, who opened a new front and scattered Ukrainian troops along the coast of the Azov Sea last week with what Kiev says is help from the Russian army. ((The port is a strategic link between the rebel-held regional capital Donetsk to the north)), the sea, and the land route to the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in March. trust.org/item/20140902180318-8bmbt/?source=search
