Oil products from the crashed Russian tankers were found on the shore and in the sea on the occupied Kerch Peninsula. Oleg Katorgin, the so-called mayor of Kerch controlled by the Russian Federation, reported this, reports UNN.

“On the Kerch Peninsula, in the area of ​​Cape Zmiiny and the Yeni-Kale fortress, fuel oil was released into the sea and onto the shore from tankers that had an accident. The forces of the federal and regional Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Kerch were deployed to clean up the shore.” – wrote the convict.

According to him, the rescue service allegedly dispatched SKB “Maksim Kolosov” and SKB Anatoliy Tkachev to collect the fuel oil stain in the sea area.

Let’s add

We will remind

Two Volgoneft tankers had an accident in the Kerch Strait.

Due to the accident of the Russian tankers, the leakage of fuel oil will have catastrophic consequences for the marine ecosystem of the Black Sea.

On December 20, the director of the Greenpeace Ukraine office, Natalya Gozak, stated that the most catastrophic consequences of the oil spill from Russian tankers in the Black Sea are expected in the coming days, and the pollution may reach the shores of Ukraine.
