Russian strikes on Odesa’s port damaged oil tanks, spilling sunflower oil that harmed birds; cleanup efforts are underway.
A Russian attack on Odesa’s port damaged sunflower oil storage tanks, causing a spill that has coated birds with oil, impairing their ability to fly or swim and risking hypothermia in cold weather.
Ukrainian officials attribute the spill to the strikes, though Russia has not commented.
The Odesa Zoo is leading rescue efforts, cleaning affected birds including great crested and horned grebes, while emergency crews deploy barriers and vessels to contain the leak and temporarily close the port channel.
Although the organic oil is expected to biodegrade, ongoing cleanup and monitoring continue to limit environmental harm.
