Heavy fuel recovered in aftermath of black sea oil spill as ecological crisis continues

An excavator scoops out thick mazut from the Black Sea in a now one-month cleanup operation after fresh oil started pouring from a stricken Russian tanker in the Black Sea on January 10, said officials in Moscow, as Ukraine warned of "terrible environmental consequences" from the spill. The images, released by the operational task force charged with speeding up the cleanup process after facing criticism from Putin, also show the near-completion of a temporary pontoon bridge installed to ease access to the Volgoneft-239, which ran aground on December 15 and continues to leak fuel.
