Russia-appointed officials in occupied Crimea have announced a regional emergency as oil was detected on the shores of Sevastopol, the peninsula's largest city.
Fuel oil spilled out of two stricken tankers nearly three weeks ago in the Kerch Strait, about 250 kilometres from Sevastopol on the southwest of the peninsula.
"Today a regional emergency regime has been declared in Sevastopol," regional Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev wrote on Telegram.
Oil was found on four beaches in the region and was "promptly eliminated" by local authorities working together with volunteers, Razvozhaev said.
"Let me emphasise: there is no mass pollution of the coastline in Sevastopol," he wrote.
Razvozhaev's announcement came after authorities in Russia's southern Krasnodar announced a region-wide emergency last week, as the fuel oil continued washing up on the coastline 10 days after one tanker ran aground and the other was left damaged and adrift.
Krasnodar regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said that almost 7,000 people were still working to clean up the spill on Saturday.

Did you and your mom give the old one a decent burial, or did you donate it to the guys at the GOPee Briefs Room? That thing needs to be burned to ashes by people wearing gas masks.

I love that it’s the “#1 cat vomit calendar.” I’d like to know more about this cat vomit calendar ranking system. 😂

I like that they're not shy about it.
No shilly-shallying.

What does that have todo with this post?
To: Kazan
Russian forces advanced by 3,985 square kilometres (1,539 square miles) in Ukraine in 2024, seven times more than in 2023, according to an AFP analysis of data from the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Not that this has anything to do with the OP, like usual...
They took a year to capture something the size of Rhode Island... Not what I would call very impressive!

So, you'll consider it a victory that Ukraine "only" lost 20% of its territory?
The Russian objective territorially going in was 1) to build a land bridge to Crimea and 2) liberate Donetsk and Lugansk.
So, Russia absolutely will accomplish that.

Why in hell is the post relevant to those here that give a damn about this country?
Normal posters here are sick and tired of being bombarded with Biden regime/Deep State propaganda about Russia and the war in Ukraine.
Get it?
