Users' questions about the tankers with fuel oil near Anapa went unanswered.

Authorities continue to report on the opening of beaches in Anapa, but remain silent about the pumping of fuel oil from the sunken tankers, noted Telegram users. Neither the operational headquarters of Kuban nor the government commission for eliminating the consequences of the emergency provides information on the progress of the fuel oil pumping work.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", authorities reported the opening of 75 beaches in Anapa, while another 11 are undergoing inspections. In the messages about the opening of beaches, nothing is said about the work on pumping fuel oil from the sunken tankers, noted Telegram users on June 26.

Authorities in Anapa today once again reported on the replenishment of beaches with new sand.

"We continue to replenish the last section of the coastal strip with sand; work on the previous section from 'Ryabinushka' to 'Okhta' has been completed," writes the city's mayor Svetlana Maslova in her Telegram channel today.

Bloggers report on the situation at the beaches and the progress of the work.

"At 'Morey' beach, all the pebbles have been washed away. The storm has brought trash to the shore, and no one is cleaning it up yet," writes Andrey Makovozov.

Bloggers Max Anapsky published a report on visiting the Central beach of Anapa.

"The Central beach of Anapa right now, sea +25, air +27, almost no waves," he wrote.

This message received 8 comments.

"What about the tankers? Does anyone remember them?" asked Ivan Ivanov.

"While the season is on, they are not a priority," replied the blog author.

"I think there is nothing left to pump out, they will just remain on the bottom," expressed the opinion of the topic starter.

"We will raise the issue after the season," promised Anapsky.

It should be noted that neither the operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region nor the government commission for eliminating the consequences of the oil spill informs about the work on pumping fuel oil from the sunken parts of the tankers.

Other users emphasized the condition of the sand.

"What terrible sand on the beach... We booked a hotel, but seeing this horror, I'm now having second thoughts," commented Tatyana.

"The sand looks <bad>," supported Igor.

Earlier, the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev, compared the sand on the beaches of Anapa and Thailand, while the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Chernyshenko, compared the beaches of Anapa and the French Riviera. Telegram users doubted that the replenishment of the beaches of Anapa with new sand was really necessary, and the continuation of work in the midst of the resort season caused their dissatisfaction.

Activists were concerned that the quality of the sand being used to replenish the beaches of Anapa is drastically different from the sand of the dunes. This could destroy the reputation of the city as a resort, activists believe. New sand hardens after rain and turns into a suspension in the water, noted Telegram users.

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. Additionally, there was an oil spill, leading to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to a report by "Caucasian Knot" titled "Oil spill in the Kerch Strait".

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