A sunken tanker has poured 4,300 tonnes into the Black Sea and another diverts
- The storm had already taken place and "there has been a disaster", the Russian Government has reported. Ukraine, for its part, has accused him of irresponsibility.
About five miles (about eight kilometers) from Kerch, in Crimea, a Russian oil tanker has begun to sink in the afternoon of Sunday, in the face of the unexpected storm. Thirteen of the crew members have been evicted by emergency services, while one of them has died on the spot. It has also not been possible to stop the dumping, which is affecting some 4,300 tonnes of tar in Black Sea waters, according to the authorities, according to the Russian newspaper Kommersant.
Information on a second oil tanker is abundant. The British newspaper The Guardian, referring to the Russian media, says that a second oil tanker has also suffered an accident, that it does not sink, that it is spilling nothing, but that it is drifting and not in good shape. On the contrary, according to the Spanish news agency EFE, the latter has also sunk and in total more than 8,000 tonnes of galipot have been dumped in the Black Sea.
Russia and Ukraine face to face
Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared an "emergency" following the announcement of the "disaster" and has announced that he will take steps to "minimize" the impact of emissions in the area. The Western media accuses him of not making any predictions about the possible damage he might suffer.
Ukraine, for its part, has criticised Russia for its "complete irresponsibility" for the bombing. On the one hand, "with a tempest of this kind" by the ship's exit to the sea; and on the other, because both boats, over 50 years old, "did not meet the conditions" to sail, he said.
