A total of 139 people and 21 units of equipment are involved," the operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region reported today, noting that "volunteers are not involved in the work."

Bloggers from Anapa doubted the danger of new pollution for Anapa

"This is the Azov Sea; it won't reach us under any conditions. We need to clean up what's on the shore, a small storm and everything will be fine, the black pieces in the water hardly dissolve, the sea is not a pool," writes blogger Max Anapsky.

"Max, is the reason still the same?" asked Galina.

Analysts assessed the consequences of strikes on ships in the Taganrog Bay

Ukrainian strikes on ships in the Taganrog Bay could lock up to 25% of grain exports in the domestic market and lead to pollution of the Azov Sea waters with oil products from tankers damaged as a result of the attacks, experts surveyed by "Caucasian Knot" indicated.

Other users responded to her that the spill is related to the damaged tankers in the Azov Sea.

"The scale of pollution in Golubitskaya is incomparable to Anapa; the main beaches will be cleaned in a few days, and everything will be fine," expressed the opinion of blogger Andrey Makovozov in his Telegram channel.

"We got dirty in fuel oil while swimming on the spit in Vityazevo over the weekend. My wife's swimsuit is ruined. The problem also persists in the Black Sea," wrote user On the southern shore in response.

The blogger did not respond to this message.
