Why russian tankers are becoming a danger to the entire world
Another oil tanker accident occurred in russia, resulting in a spill of petroleum products in the Tatar Strait near the coast of sakhalin.
Just three months ago, a similar incident involving marine pollution occurred off the coast of kamchatka. And the accident that led to the sinking of two tankers in the Kerch Strait in December last year caused a large-scale environmental disaster, the consequences of which russian authorities have still not been able to eliminate.
Recently, incidents involving russian oil tankers have become systemic, posing serious environmental risks globally. The root cause of this trend — the russian state’s inability to provide proper technical maintenance for its vessels, due to enormous war expenditures and international sanctions.
▪️Despite ru-propaganda’s attempts to downplay the issue, the risk of yet another large-scale environmental catastrophe caused by the poor condition of russia’s tanker fleet continues to grow.
