SEVASTOPOL. Jan 9 (Interfax) - More than 140 tonnes of soil polluted with fuel oil have been removed from the coast in Sevastopol, the city's Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said.
The oil spill in the Black Sea that has hit Russian and Crimean coasts since mid-December is particularly hard to clean up because it involves a "heavy" fuel that is less likely to float.
