Telegram users inquired about the timelines for raising the parts of the tankers near Anapa.

The government commission did not specify in its report the timelines for raising the sunken parts of the tankers, noted Telegram users.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", representatives of Rosprirodnadzor, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the Marine Rescue Service confirmed that the pumping of fuel oil from the sunken parts of the tankers near Anapa has been completed. The work of the government commission has ended, and the work on raising the parts of the tankers from the bottom of the Black Sea will be monitored by the relevant agencies.

The government commission did not specify in its report the timelines for raising the sunken parts of the tankers, noted blogger Max Anapsky.

"It will soon be 2 years since they have been at the bottom. Judging by the fact that there is a risk of attack for the vessels, it is unclear to me whether they will be able to work at all until the end of the special military operation. In winter, storms may break these rusty tubs with waves. I believe that almost all the fuel oil has been pumped out, but it is impossible to pump everything completely; something will remain on the bottom, some crumbs, which means there is certainly a risk of leaks," he wrote in his Telegram channel.

"If it is really possible to raise the sunken fragments of the tankers, I would like to hear the timeline; if it is impossible to do this for now, then it is logical to say so," concluded the blogger.

This message received five comments.

"If they say that the work will be completed by 2028 or by 2029 or by 2030, what will that change?" asked Dmitry.

"In any case, work will not be carried out until summer," Android is sure.

Some users doubted that the pumping had been completed.

"All the fuel oil? That's funny," commented @MelissaOSSA.

Recall that on August 21, the authorities reported the completion of the pumping of fuel oil from the sunken parts of the tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239". On August 26, satellite images showed oil slicks at the sites of the sinking of the stern of "Volgoneft-212" and the bow of "Volgoneft-239", and the Sky Eye project suggested that the completion of pumping does not mean the cessation of oil product leaks.

On September 4, it became known that the Russian government had not published reports from the meetings of the government commission on the elimination of the consequences of the fuel oil spill within two weeks after the announcement of the completion of pumping.

On December 15, 2024, two tankers with fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. As a result, a crew member of one of the tankers died. In addition, there was a spill of oil products, which led to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to the report of the "Caucasian Knot" "Oil spill in the Kerch Strait". Materials on the consequences of the oil spill have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Ecological disaster in Kuban".
