Russia's militarization of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov has caused an ecological disaster. According to Greenpeace, on Sunday, two tankers in the Kerch Strait caused thousands of tons of fuel oil to be released into the water.

Two Russian tankers carrying thousands of tons of fuel were badly damaged in stormy weather near the Black Sea over the weekend, leading to an oil spill, according to Russian state media.

Two oil tankers carrying nearly 9,000 metric tons of mazut fuel were damaged by a storm, broke in half, sunk and caused oil spills in Kerch Strait, which separates Crimea and Russia.
