Representatives of Turkish environmental organizations are sounding the alarm due to the constant accidents of Russian oil ships in the coastal waters of Turkey. Environmentalists are increasingly recording fuel oil spills and oil emissions.
Analysts have concluded that this is fuel from Russian tankers. This is due to the fact that Moscow seeks to increase oil exports through the Mediterranean Sea. To do this, Russian oil companies have to put older ships on the routes that do not meet modern technical requirements. They constantly break down, and oil emissions occur frequently
Researchers emphasize that this threatens the health of thousands of people and the safety of coastal regions. The analyzes already show that the water from coastal areas is harmful for people to swim in. Therefore, experts emphasize the need to strengthen control over the technical condition of oil tankers, up to and including a ban on passage in territorial waters.
