The Russian authorities are forced to admit that they downplayed the scale of the environmental disaster caused by the accident of oil tankers in the Kerch Strait.

This was stated by the Center for Countering Disinformation, according to UNN.

The level of emergency in Kuban was raised from municipal to regional. It is also known that the pollution has reached the Crimean coast, and there is a threat of expansion of the oil pollution zone to the Azov Sea

- , the Center for Countering Disinformation said in a statement.

But at the same time, for example, the occupation administration of Crimea decided to bring bags of sand contaminated with oil products to the territory of the unfinished Crimean nuclear power plant in Shcholkino.

Local residents are outraged because the storage of hazardous toxic waste can significantly damage the environment of this resort area.  

This irresponsible attitude to the nature of Crimea once again demonstrates that Russia is not interested in the development and preservation of the values of the occupied peninsula. Moscow only uses the peninsula as a military base and a tool for realizing its political interests

- noted the Center for Countering Disinformation.

Recall
