Two Russian tankers carrying thousands of tons of fuel encountered severe damage during stormy weather near the Black Sea over the weekend, resulting in an oil spill, as reported by Russian state media.
The Volgoneft 212 and Volgoneft 239 vessels were navigating the Kerch Strait between mainland Russia and annexed Crimea when they faced distress on Sunday, with wind speeds in the area reaching up to 45 mph (70 kph).
