In the Black Sea, the third Russian tanker in three days is damaged. The Volgoneft-109 tanker, carrying fuel oil

Putin can fight a big war in Ukraine but can not afford newer ships for his oil. damn


The ecological disaster in the Black Sea due to the old and illegal Russian oil tankers that broke apart in the Kerch Strait and spilled many thousand tons of oil can now be seen at shore and on animal life there.
Russian ships like those are sailing in our waters to @Statsmin !?






Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.

And these tankers are now all over the world.
