The task force reported that tiles were being washed in Tuapse amid volunteers' efforts to clean up fuel oil.

About 32,500 cubic meters of contaminated soil and water-oil mixture have been collected and removed from Tuapse, and rescuers are washing the tiles on the embankment and roadsides, the task force reported. Volunteers continue to clean up fuel oil in Tyumensky and Nebug.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," a volunteer headquarters was established in the village of Gizel-Dere after an oil spill from the Tuapse Oil Refinery. On the morning of May 23 alone, volunteers collected 70 bags of oil products in Gizel-Dere, reporting that work is continuing on other beaches in the Tuapse District, particularly in the village of Tyumensky. The headquarters in Gizel-Dere has completed the shoreline cleanup.

As of May 27, approximately 32,500 cubic meters of contaminated soil and water-oil mixture had been collected and removed, the Krasnodar Krai task force reported today.

"Debris removal continues from the shoreline, children's parks, and sports grounds. Embankment tiles are being washed with high-pressure water jet cleaners, and roadsides are also being cleared. The total number of personnel and equipment involved in the cleanup of the oil spill is 447 people and 87 pieces of equipment, including from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations," the statement reads.

Volunteers in the villages of Tyumensky and Nebuga continue to clean the shoreline; they have asked for help with food and other essential items.

Needed grocery lists are being published in the "Razliv na svyaz" Telegram chat.

Volunteers are asking for water in small bottles, coffee, sugar, kefir, cottage cheese, cheese, bananas, eggs, apples, cucumbers, and other foods, according to the messages.

The consequences of the pollution in Tuapse cannot be considered completely eliminated, and an objective assessment of the situation is impossible without open information about the scale of the spill, ecologists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" indicated on May 24.

On May 1, a fire broke out at the Tuapse sea terminal after a drone attack. It was extinguished on May 2. This fire is the fourth in Tuapse since April 16. Earlier, on April 24, after booms broke due to rising water levels in the Tuapse River, an oil spill occurred into the Black Sea. On May 27, another attack on the seaport was reported. A series of attacks on Tuapse's oil infrastructure has led to environmental consequences, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Fires and "Oil Rain": Key Information on the Ecological Disaster in Tuapse".

A regional emergency regime is in effect throughout the Tuapse Okrug . You can read about emergency assessment criteria, response levels, structures, and resources for eliminating the consequences in the Caucasian Knot's document "Emergency Situation Regime (ES)".

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