50,000 dolphins died in the Black Sea because of russian ships

50,000 dolphins have already died in the Black Sea due to the use of russian ships.

Enemy surface and submarine boats are creating powerful sonic booms that startle dolphins, UAnimals has reported.

“As a result, animals cannot orient themselves in space, become blind and fall on landmines. Russia is committing ecocide in Ukraine, destroying all living things,” the organization said in a statement.

As USM previously reported, Odesa Region prosecutors opened criminal proceedings under Article 441 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on ecocide.

Since the beginning of the war, a large number of dead dolphins have been recorded on the beaches of Odesa. The probable cause is the activity of the russian Navy. On underwater and surface vessels, the russians use sonar devices (sonars) that create powerful sounds that negatively affect the health of animals.
