The President of Ukraine commented on the environmental disaster caused by the accident of Russian tankers in the Black Sea. Zelensky accused Russia of using 50-year-old vessels and inaction to solve the problem.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is doing nothing to prevent a catastrophe in the Kerch Strait due to the accident of Russian oil tankers. He said this in an evening address, UNN reports.

Now everyone sees the consequences of the Black Sea disaster - "fuel oil polluting the coast. Russia is using extremely old vessels - 50 years old - using anything to make money,

- Zelensky said.

According to him, this is a full-blown threat, both in terms of financing the war and in terms of damage to nature. Zelensky emphasized that no sea in the world "deserves all this damage from the Russian presence." 

Now the fuel oil in the Black Sea is a problem of the people themselves, and Putin is doing nothing, he is only interested in his old "areshniks" and other craziness. We need to do everything possible to make Russia bring about real peace as soon as possible and to make it accountable for everything it has done. I thank everyone who is helping us with this,

- the President emphasized.
