Due to the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, animals continue to die in the Black Sea. At least 5,000 dolphins have already died.

Quote: “The sea washes up no more than 5% of all dead animals ashore.”
Details: And the rest, 95 percent, sink to the bottom of the sea.
However, as it is impossible to count all the dead animals, the death toll in ecosystems may be much higher.
“They cannot be detected or counted from the shore, so we believe that during the war of the Russian barbarians against Ukraine, probably tens of thousands of dolphins have already died,” the scientist believes.
In early July, four more marine mammals were washed ashore. According to the biologist, the cause of their death is the use of surface vessels and submarines with sonars.
