Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style. And these tankers are now all over the world.

There will be NO ONE and NO EFFORT to help clean this up and save any injured animals. That kind of mobilization takes money and a team of organized workers to help. The responsibility that would be forced by our environmental laws doesn’t exist in most of the world. Heartbreaking.

Thank you for reporting on this catastrophe. I hope that after you filmed your video, you picked up the bird and took it to someone who knows how to help it. Saving even one animal's life from the follies and horrors of humanity is one less stain upon our collective souls

russian on the video said to the bird: “It is not my fault. Honestly.” To the side “I have no idea how to help this bird”
When you finally understand russians do NOT want to take responsibility for their actions? The only way to make them take responsibility is force them.

I hope a group of people tend to the wildlife, carefully wash off the coat of oil covering them. As I recall when the oil rig on the U.S. Gulf Coast burst and dumped gallons of oil into the waters, rescuers used Dawn dish detergent to wash the oil off of birds and other wild life ~ and it worked.

If you crap in front of someone's house, aren't you supposed to clean after yourself, even if the act of crapping yourself was unavoidable due to outside circumstances? Who is liable for damages?

Sue in international court, get a judgement - expensive and time consuming, but doable.

It’s one of the absolute best solvents for damn near anything. Tar comes right off. It’ll also totally clean out a resin coated water pipe. Just make sure to rinse objects with alcohol afterwards to remove the residue.

I used to work in bird rehab and citrus would not be good to put on birds (though it sounds great for other uses!) Dawn dish soap is what we use to clean oil and other contaminants off birds. It works great and is safe for their biology.

Surfboard wax remover is different. It’s skin safe. Been using it for decades.

Aguaman @blubeanie.bsky.social
For birds just keep a warm tub of soapy water at the ready for a quick dip after using the wax remover. The birds will be fine. It’s not as harsh as household citrus solvents.

Russians ‘burning faces’ of dead North Koreans to keep them secret: Zelenskyy
US says it has ‘indications’ of North Koreans killed and wounded.
By Taejun Kang for RFA
2024.12.17
A screenshot of a video released by the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiyy. Zelenskyy said it shows Russians burning the face of a dead North Korean soldier. Part of the image has been blurred by RFA. (Volodymyr Zelenskiyy’s official Telegram channel)
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Russian forces are burning the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in assaults on Ukrainian positions to conceal their identities and keep secret their deployment to help Russia in its war, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Russia had begun using North Koreans in significant numbers for the first time to assault Ukrainian positions and his forces released images and videos of what it said were the bodies of North Koreans soldiers, among some 200 killed and wounded in Russia’s Kursk region.
The United States said on Monday that it believed that North Korean troops had been killed in Kursk where Ukrainian forces are battling to hold an enclave they occupied in August.
Zelenskyy said Russia was trying to keep the presence of North Korean soldiers secret.
“While they were being trained, they were even forbidden to show their faces. The Russian military tried to delete any video evidence of their presence,” he said via his official Telegram on Monday.
“And now, after the battles with our guys, the Russians are also trying to... literally burn the faces of the dead North Korean soldiers,” the Ukrainian leader added, sharing a 30-second video as evidence.
At the video’s 24-second mark, a group of people can be seen burning what appears to be a corpse on a slope covered in snow.
“Russians try to conceal the faces of North Korean soldiers even after their death,” reads a subtitle of the video.
Radio Free Asia has not been able to verify the video.
“There is no reason for Koreans to fight and die for Putin. And even after their deaths, Russia will only mock them,” said Zelenskyy. “This insanity must be stopped.”
Neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have confirmed that North Korean soldiers are helping Russia in the war that Putin launched with his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
A U.S. Pentagon spokesman said on Monday there were “indications” of North Koreans killed and wounded while South Korea’s National Intelligence Service said it was “verifying” information that was “likely to be true.”
The U.S. and South Korea estimate that more than 10,000 North Koreans have been sent to Russia to help it with its war against Ukraine.
They have said that the North Koreans have been fighting in Russia’s southwestern Kursk border region against Ukrainian forces who occupied parts of it in early August.
Sanctions against North Korean officials
South Korea announced on Tuesday that it will impose sanctions on three top North Korean military officers and one missile developer believed to have been deployed to Russia to support its war on Ukraine.
The sanctioned officials are: Kim Yong Bok, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army, Sin Kum Chol, director of its operations bureau, Ri Pong-chun, an army general who’s allegedly heading the “Storm Corps” special troops deployed to Russia’s western war front lines, and Ri Song-jin, a missile developer believed to have been sent to the war-torn border regions of Russia.

South Korea also imposed sanctions on seven individuals and 15 entities for participating in illegal military cooperation with Russia, violating multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, according to the South Korean foreign ministry.
The sanctioned individuals and entities were also targeted for their roles in funding and supplying materials that support North Korea’s nuclear and missile development programs.
All seven individuals are Russian nationals suspected of involvement in arms deals with North Korea, including financing, providing military communication equipment, and transporting weapons.
Of the 15 sanctioned entities, the majority are Russian, with the exception of the Storm Corps and a bank located in South Ossetia, a Russia-backed breakaway region in Georgia.
The sanctions are set to take effect on Thursday.
South Korea’s announcement follows the imposition by the U.S. of sanctions on North Koreans involved in the Ukraine war. The U.S. list included Kim Yong Bok and Ri Chang Ho, along with 14 other individuals and entities.
