Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova: аs a result of the terrible militarization of the peninsula in the bay of Krugla (Omega) near Sevastopol, a massive sudden death of seabirds was observed.
This area has always been considered relatively clean, but since the beginning of active hostilities in Ukraine, the Black Sea Fleet military hospital and the helicopter plant, which has military depots and its own berths, have been discharging into Krugly Bay.
There is information that ships, submarines of the Black Sea Fleet of russian are being loaded with ammunition and supplies for shelling of the mainland of Ukraine from these berths.
These facts suggest that the birds were poisoned by substances that entered the Black Sea.
The occupying country violates Article 35 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention of 12 August 1949 Concerning the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol No. 1 of 8 June 1977) on the Proper Treatment of the Environment in Military Operations.
