Stains Of Oil Several Kilometres Size Found Near Sevastopol

The Russian tankers are to blame.

Oil stains the size of several kilometres have been found near Sevastopol in the Crimea temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation.

This is reported on 6 January by the ‘Crimean Wind’ Telegram channel with reference to satellite imagery data.

It is reported that satellite photos taken the day before in the Black Sea show several elongated large spots west of Sevastopol, with a length of 3.5 to 9.5 kilometres (with a width of up to 1-1.5 kilometres).

‘Also a continuous area of water with the unusual density (marked with a question mark on the photo) is visible along the entire south-western and western coast of Sevastopol - from Cape Fiolent to Cape Chersonese and further to the settlement of Kacha, however, it is not possible to claim that this is oil pollution without observations from the shore,’ the report said.

Later ‘Crimean Wind’ published a photo of fuel oil stains and the remains of birds in oil on the Tsarsky beach at Cape Fiolent near Sevastopol.

‘The sea in this place has always been one of the cleanest along the Crimean coast due to the currents and the absence of pollution sources,’ the caption of the photos reads.
