Russia has significantly increased pressure on civilian shipping in the Black Sea. Specifically, Russian forces are targeting not only commercial bulk carriers in Ukrainian territory but also those in neutral waters and the exclusive maritime economic zones of other countries. Russian attacks have resulted in the deaths of sailors, the sinking of ships, and the spillage of petroleum products and cargo carried by these vessels into the Black Sea. Damaged vessels that could not be evacuated in a timely manner are drifting without crews.
Vladislav Balinsky, a hydrobiologist at the Tuzlovski Limany National Nature Park, head of the Green Leaf public organization, and director of the Odessa regional branch of the National Ecological Center of Ukraine, spoke to UNIAN about the dangers of uncontrollable vessels drifting after Russian strikes, the deterioration of the seabed near Odessa, and the potential fate of the Black Sea if the war drags on for years.
Due to the significant increase in Russian attacks on civilian shipping and port infrastructure, the nature of environmental threats is changing accordingly. Pollution is being generated not only by oil terminals and fuel tanks, but also by commercial vessels carrying a wide variety of cargo. Moreover, the environmental impact depends not only on the cargo itself, but also on where the vessel sank and what happens to it next.
He says that defense forces of Ukraine are trying to shoot down air strikes coming from the Black Sea before they reach residential areas. This, of course, saves lives. However, it's clear that a downed drone or missile doesn't vanish into thin air. It turns into a mass of debris in the water. Pieces of Russian drones—foam materials, composite hull parts, carbon fiber structures—lie around the breakwaters and on the beaches. This has become the familiar debris of war. But we don't see everything on the surface! Engines, metal parts, electronic circuit boards, batteries, fuel and oil residues—all of this mostly settles on the seabed. Over time, the materials degrade, the metals corrode, and the pollutants enter the marine environment. It's the accumulation of these materials that worries me most. After all, we're talking about a systematic flow of man-made pollution that enters the coastal ecosystem over several years.
While light debris can still be collected on shore, heavier components remain on the seabed. How much of this material has already accumulated in Odessa Bay? What substances from it are ending up in bottom sediments? How does this affect invertebrates and fish? We don't yet have a complete picture.
