Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk confirmed a major oil spill in the eastern Black Sea in territory controlled by Russia, he told RBC-Ukraine on Sept. 3.
The type of oil is not specified, but unlike previous cases, this one seems to tend to float above water.
The centre was previously involved in rescuing birds affected by the fuel oil spill after a tanker accident in the Kerch Strait in December 2024. “The difference between mazut heavy oil and oil products is that oil products are liquid, they completely soak the feather and skin. This is the chemical burn.”
