Odesa Region: ecological disaster and fighting frost without electricity.

According to ТСН: Odesa continues to fight the consequences of Russian terror. While ecologists are trying to save the coastline from large amounts of spilled sunflower oil, energy workers are working in nine-degree frost to restore electricity for the city’s residents.

Ecological disaster: birds in a trap

A recent strike on the Pivdennyi port, where the enemy hit reservoirs filled with vegetable oil, has turned the sea into a real trap. Tons of sunflower oil have entered the water, covering the coastline for several kilometers.

This has led to the death of seabirds: their feathers have become matted with oil, they have lost the ability to fly, and they are freezing in the cold water. Concerned citizens of Odesa organized a rescue operation — birds were gathered along the shore and taken to the zoo.

"The situation has visually improved. Specialists have set up boom barriers, localized the spills, and are cleaning the sandy area. Indicators of sea water are already within the norm, but monitoring continues," — reports the correspondent.

Energy sector under attack: -9°C and transport stoppage

The situation with electricity in Odesa remains tense. The day before, thermometers dropped to -9°C, creating additional pressure on the restored electrical networks.

• Transport: Electric transport (trams and trolleybuses) still does not go out on routes due to a lack of power. They are replaced by buses.

• Subscribers: Despite the around-the-clock efforts of energy workers, part of the city still remains without stable electricity supply.

The enemy does not stop: new attacks have again damaged the equipment for transporting grain at one of the elevators. Fortunately, the drone crash on the territory of another enterprise this time did not result in casualties or significant destruction.

The continuation of hostilities and their consequences are becoming increasingly felt by the residents of Odesa region. In the face of an ecological disaster, it is important not only to preserve nature but also to ensure stability in the energy system. Rescue operations to save birds and restore electricity supply remain extremely important tasks for the region, so support for the city and its residents remains critically important.
