The oil slick, which was formed as a result of the accident of two Russian tankers in the Kerch Strait on December 15, polluted 35 km of the Anapa beaches of the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation.
“The storm is bringing more and more oil products from the tankers sunk in the Kerch Strait to the beaches of Anapa. The oil slick has already polluted up to 35 km of the coast. Now the oil slick is moving towards the central beach of Anapa,” the post says.
It is noted that residents of the “Kavkaz” residential complex on the northern outskirts of Anapa complained about the smell of gas and oil, which causes vomiting and tears.
“Now the smell of oil has spread more than a kilometer from the coast. People say you have to close the windows because the smell is like you’re in a refinery. It seems that Anapa will have to forget about the name “resort city” for a long time, “the Telegram channel added.
According to Astra, after the accident of the Russian oil tankers “Volgoneft-212” and “Volgoneft-239” in the Kerch Bay, oil products were washed ashore in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation.
“This morning, during the monitoring of the coastal strip, fuel oil stains were found. Petroleum products washed ashore several tens of kilometers from the village of Veselivka in the Temryuk district to the village of Blagovishchenska in Anapa,” announced the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev.
He informed that the groups of the Kuban-SPAS regional unit, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and volunteers were involved in the liquidation of the consequences of the oil spill. 267 people from operational services work on site, and 50 pieces of equipment are also involved, Kondratiev added.

As Ukrinform reported, on December 15, two Russian oil tankers Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 began to sink near the coast in the Kerch Strait. The cause of the accident was a strong storm. One of the tankers was broken almost in half by the waves. More than 4,000 tons of fuel oil spilled into the Black Sea.
According to Yevhen Khlobistov, dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of NaUKMA, adviser to the chairman of the board of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, coordinator of the working group “Ecology and Economy” of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the accident of Russian tankers in the Kerch Strait occurred due to the negligence of the management of shipping companies.
In his opinion, a regional ecological disaster will not happen in the Black Sea, but the microflora will be significantly affected.
