A great oil slick was discovered in the Black Sea, which is moving towards the coast of Taman and Temryuk. This was stated by the Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Veniamin Kondratyev at a meeting of the regional parliament on Thursday, October 23, reports The Moscow Times. We are talking about 900 tons of oil products that are moving to the Kuban coast. Kondratiev described this as “the second series of the epic with tankers,” after the accident of which in December 2024 thousands of tons of fuel oil ended up in the Black Sea. " And for this, in particular, the region’s reserve fund will be used,” the Russian official assured. The fuel oil slick “floats” towards Anapa, where new pollution with oil products was recorded at the beginning of the month. The city began to restore the protective rampart, which had previously been completely dismantled. It will stretch for 13 km and will cover the coast from “possible emissions of petroleum products during storms in the autumn-winter period”. Local authorities noted that nine kilometers of the structure are supposedly “already ready”. . . At least 4,000 tons of fuel oil out of more than 9,000 tons on board the ships then leaked into the Black Sea. The coastline in the Krasnodar region and Crimea turned out to be polluted; individual clots of fuel oil even reached the Odessa region of Ukraine. Let us remind you that on October 12, almost a month after the authorities of the Krasnodar Territory announced the completion of cleaning the bottom of the Black Sea from fuel oil, pollution was again recorded on the coast of Anapa.
