Russia continues to destroy the Black Sea ecosystem with regular leaks of oil and oil products into the water. A new accident occurred off the coast of Novorossiysk during loading operations at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's marine terminal.

According to Russian propaganda media, the area of pollution was about 1 square kilometre, Dialog.UA reports. The leak occurred due to the rupture of a cargo hose during the refuelling of the Turkish tanker T.Semahat.
