The Krasnodar Krai governor is downplaying the scale of the oil spill disaster.

The chief of the Krasnodar Region is minimizing the extent of the catastrophe. A crisis situation has been announced in the area.

The governor shared orchestrated images of the “remediation” of a crude slick on an untouched shore. Social media users question, “Why is the press office disseminating this shameful spectacle, featuring a handful of tidy responders excavating immaculate soil?”

Simultaneously, the Anapa local government is seeking voluntary help. Roughly 40 km of shoreline is presently affected. Halting the oil slick’s expansion is presently unfeasible.
