Satellite observations show distinct pollution plumes from heavy fuel oil " #mazut 🏭" combustion at major power plants in western and central #Iran. These emissions accumulate over the Tehran–Qom basin, intensifying regional haze and #AirQuality degradation.

1/ 🏴‍☠️ Exactly one year ago, on December 15, 2024, two #tankers belonging to Russia's #shadowfleet broke apart during a storm and sank in the #Kerch Strait. They were carrying about 9,000 tons of #mazut oil destined for export to India.

The consequences are here ↙️

3/ 💬 The saddest thing is that the last time we heard about any steps to solve the main problem — the removal of 2-3 thousand tons of #mazut from the sunken wreckage of the #tankers — was on September 5.

1/ 🤡 On Sep.19, the Krasnodar Region Operational Headquarters and a government commission reported on the completion of work to collect settled #mazut from the bottom of the #BlackSea in the Anapa coastal zone.

UWEC expert Evgeny Simonov explained why the problem is far from being solved: ⬇️⬇️

🛰️ Images taken in July show ongoing pollution of the #Kerch Strait with #mazut. It's likely to have come from tankers that sank in December 2024, according to kedr.media

UWEC has already reported on the scale of the #disaster and its consequences: uwecworkgroup.info/military-oil...

#Ukraine has appealed to many international bodies to establish control over the cleanup of the #mazut spill in the #Kerch Strait but no significant assistance has been forthcoming.

Meanwhile, #Russia regularly receives international cleanup assistance: uwecworkgroup.info/internationa...

2/ 🤬 In #Zaporizhzhya region, according to the Center for National Resistance occupiers forced pupils and teachers to collect #mazut with their bare hands.

1/ 👈 #Mazut from #Kerch moves westward: UNN reports that in #Odessa region a new mazut release was found in the Tuzlovskie Limany National Nature Park.

1/ 😳 Russian authorities will send more than 13 thousand children on vacation to the area of the #mazut spill in the Black Sea, agents.media reports

1/🤦‍♂️In October 2024, two months before the #mazut spill in the #Kerch Strait, Russian officials conducted a full-scale oil spill prevention and response exercise that was believed to have been successful.

Two months later: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jT7...

1/ Dead birds and #mazut clots continue to be found on Black Sea coast of #Georgia

Authorities say there is no oil leak risk, and the ship has been cordoned off.

Earlier today, on the opposite end of #Russia, on #Sakhalin, a #Chinese oil tanker carrying diesel, #mazut, and coal ran aground.

1/📍What was the destination of the sunken tankers’ #mazut?

Fuel oil is killing almost all the living creatures on the bottom of the #BlackSea in the area where the tanker sank.

Hundreds of thousands of #crabs, #jellyfish & mollusks have died in the dangerous #Mazut.

The underwater world and sand will take at least 10 years to recover.

#Mazut has also reached the coasts of #Russian-occupied #Crimea, #Russian Telegram channels report.

Allegedly, oil sludge mixed with seaweed washed up in #Kerch.

The #Russians are not only war criminals but also #environmental criminals.
The 🛢️ that was in the now decommissioned old #Russian tankers is called #Mazut & is now effectively killing life in the #BlackSea.
"He's covered in fuel oil. Completely."
Fuel oil is killing #dolphins 🐬 in #KrasnodarKrai.

So far, #mazut hasn't leaked into the sea. It's unclear whether another environmental disaster can be avoided.

#ukraine #putinisamasskiller #putinisawarcriminal @kardinal691

"So the 3rd tanker didn't sink?"

#Russian Telegram channels report that a third #Volgoneft vessel carrying 4,000 tons of #mazut has reported leaking in one of the tanks.
