Fuel oil that leaked from Russian tankers near the Kerch Strait can reach Odesa and Mykolaiv.
This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmitry Pletenchuk, reports “Censor”.
He noted that the current is set in such a way that, most likely, the fuel oil can even reach the coast of Odessa and Mykolaiv.
Pletenchuk explained that Ukraine cannot influence civilian vessels in a military sense, so Russia continues to use the Kerch Strait for its needs.
“We do not influence civilian shipping, in the sense of influence, namely fire, because Ukraine is a civilized country. Accordingly, they continue to overload, they have little choice. They understand perfectly well that, without having oil exports and not receiving revenues, it will be even more difficult for them to wage this war,” the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy added.
USM previously reported that more than 60 dolphins died after a fuel oil spill in the Black Sea.
