Kerch Strait Crisis: 4,300 Tons of Fuel Oil Spill Raises Alarm Over Environmental Catastrophe<\/p>\n

On December 15, 2024, approximately 4,300 tons of fuel oil began spilling into the Kerch Strait following a storm that affected two Russian tankers headed to deliver fuel to the Russian navy. Alarmingly, the marine traffic location systems on these vessels had been inactive for 12 days before the spill, with their journey starting in Volgograd. Dr. Paul Johnston, Head of Greenpeace Research Laboratories, raised serious concerns about the environmental impact of such spills in the region, emphasizing that they could lead to significant ecological damage.<\/p>\n
