A massive clean-up was ordered after Black Sea storm causes loss of lives... Hundreds of Russian soldiers were deployed in a massive clean- up after a 2,000 tonne oil spill near the Black Sea recently. 30,000 birds were killed in an environmentally sensitive strait connected to the Black Sea. The oil was spilled when a tanker broke apart during a storm that wrecked four other ships. Officials have warned of an environmental catastrophe as high winds and heavy rain lashed Russia's southern coastline. Five sailors were reported missing in Russian waters and another fifteen in Ukraine waters. Three others were washed ashore. I don't have the final figures from this tragic storm. Oil deposits clogged the beaches around Port Kavkaz, the worst area affected by the gales. President Putin has ordered a report into the tragedy which has resulted in a loss of lives, and a potential environmental disaster in the area - something that is difficult to assess in dollar terms.
