As Ukrinform reported, on December 15, Russia's oil tankers Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 sank in the Kerch Strait. As a result, more than 4,000 tonnes of fuel oil spilled into the Black Sea. Damage from the oil leak into the Black Sea after the accidents of two Russian tankers is preliminarily estimated at $14 billion.
As Ukrinform reported, the occupiers are hiding the scale of the environmental disaster caused by the fuel oil spill.
