The lack of specifics regarding fuel oil in Anapa has outraged Telegram users.

The latest government commission report does not contain specific data on the cleanup of the fuel oil spill and did not clarify the chances of reopening Anapa's beaches, social media users noted.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the beach lessee in the village of Vityazevo has begun adding a new layer of sand from quarries to a test site. This restoration experience may subsequently be extended to other beaches in the emergency zone. Ecologist Yevgeny Vitishko believes that such actions simply conceal the problem, but do not solve it. Representatives of Rospotrebnadzor took samples from Miracleon Beach in Vityazevo, which is being refilled with new sand, including samples of the imported sand itself. Telegram users emphasized that the research results, as before, are unlikely to be made public.

The Government Commission for the Elimination of the Consequences of the Emergency in the Kerch Strait reported that satellite images of the area where the tankers sank in the Black Sea showed no confirmed oil spills.

Since the beginning of the work, more than 185,000 tons of contaminated sand and soil have been collected. More than 3,000 kilometers of coastline have been cleaned, including re-cleaned. In total, nearly 181,000 tons of contaminated sand and soil have been disposed of by specialized organizations or recycled. The combined force and resources involved in the emergency response total 817 people and 195 pieces of equipment, according to a report published on the Russian government's Telegram channel. Blogger Max Anapsky pointed out the lack of specifics in the reports. "Nothing was said about the substance. What work is currently being done in the strait, when will the pebble beaches open (they'll probably wait for the results of sea samples in March), what's with the sand samples on the beaches in Vityazevo (they're probably not ready yet)," he wrote on his Telegram channel. By 3:17 PM Moscow time, 18 users had commented on this message. "And the data on removal and the number of workers and equipment is the same. Look at the weekly reports - nothing has changed," Tatyana agreed in the comments.

The commission's work was unjustifiably closed, according to Larisa. "On what basis was all the emergency information classified? Why aren't they reporting what work is being done today, what volumes have been completed at sea, or the results of seawater and sand samples? Why was our governor's request to open clean pebble beaches completely ignored? No one from the government commission came to inspect Anapa's beaches, including the pebble ones. Why is there such a disregard for the entrepreneurs and residents of Anapa, who are barely surviving in the current situation? We see complete indifference from the authorities to our requests and aspirations. Hear us, and open all of Anapa's beaches," she noted.

"Everyone is taking advantage of the situation to solve their own problems. This isn't indifference; it's a normal attitude toward people," noted user Stary Prapor.

As a reminder, on April 18, 2025, Rospotrebnadzor declared 141 beaches in Anapa and nine beaches in the Temryuk district unfit for recreation.

On December 15, 2024, two tankers carrying fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. A crew member of one of the tankers died as a result. In addition, an oil spill occurred, leading to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Fuel Oil Spill in the Kerch Strait".

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the Caucasian Knot on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
