Unnamed officials started a fight with a volunteer from the "Network, Sieve, Shovel" headquarters, who was on duty at the Bugayskaya Spit.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on January 8, volunteers from the "Network, Sieve, Shovel" headquarters discovered an old layer of fuel oil on the Bugayskaya Spit. They assumed it would soon be washed out to sea.

Volunteers from the "Net, Sieve, Shovel" headquarters reported on January 9th that they had no longer found the old layer they had discovered the day before. "If it was washed away, we'll find it after the storm. If it was carried away by the sea, it'll be in an unknown direction," they reported.

Furthermore, they reported the same day about a difficult situation with some officials. According to the volunteers, on January 10th they arrived at the spit and "started a fight with our volunteer, who remained to monitor the storm." In their comments, they clarified that "an initially simple situation was complicated to the limit by the presence of people."

A little later, the volunteers wrote that the officials had left and everyone was alive. "The conversation obviously didn't work out. Although it's a strange way to conduct negotiations," they noted, adding that if necessary, "the head of one organization contacts the head of another organization," and anything else is "obviously outside the law."

The volunteers also reported on their Telegram channel that the officials in question arrived in cars that didn't have permission to "pass through the barrier." There were two cars.

The day before, the volunteers reported that they had been trying for six months to "find adequate contact with those responsible for the situation." "We are forced to clench our fists. And the truth in this case is our main weapon. And it is on our side. Along with the law and the constitution," they noted, without specifying who they were referring to.

They also stated that their tool is publicity, and if necessary, information will be conveyed to officials by "other structures." "There's still a chance to keep this 'inside the house.' But the ball is in the other court. We won't become friends, but we can find a compromise," they noted, adding an appeal to "the person who clearly reads this channel and who willingly plays along with those who don't deserve it." "Open confrontation began precisely when we refused to commit a vile act against you. Think about it," the volunteers concluded.

As a reminder, on December 15, 2024, two tankers carrying fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. A crew member from one of the tankers died as a result. In addition, an oil spill occurred, leading to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Fuel Oil Spill in the Kerch Strait".

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
