In the spring of 2022, the Russian military almost completely destroyed the building of the station, and already in 2023 it was assigned it. Russian invaders opened the railway station in Mariupol, but did not report where Mariupol and invaders could go. This was reported by the press service of the Mariupol City Council on Telegram. It is noted that the invaders boasted the "restoration" of the station in Mariupol, who themselves destroyed.

In the spring of 2022, the enemy destroyed the building by almost 80%. Already in 2023, the Russians began to talk that dismantling work was carried out. During the dismantling, they instructed the unique mosaic panel "Metallurgs", which for over 40 years decorated the recreation room. The mosaic was created in 1974 by well -known monumentalists Valentin Konstantinov and Lel Kuzminkov.

In June 2019, the Metallurgi mosaic was exhibited at the UN headquarters in New York, but the Russian invaders decided to completely destroy it. "The occupiers do not report to the Mariupol Station," they wrote in the city council and suggested that the railway station can be used for military purposes to carry military equipment and equipment.
