  • Severe oil spill from two tankers has resulted in heavily contaminated shores and affected wildlife along the Black Sea coast.
  • Two Russian vessels, Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239, ran aground, releasing a significant amount of fuel oil into the sea.
  • Authorities estimated that 40% of the 9,200 tonnes of fuel oil could have spilled, leading to extensive pollution.
  • The ecological impact is alarming, with reports of over 30 cetaceans found dead and many local birds impacted.
  • Since December 15, the spill has worsened, reaching Sevastopol and prompting officials to declare it an "environmental catastrophe."
