Russian region declares state of emergency as Black Sea oil spill cleanup stalls

Emergency has been declared for the Russian region of Krasnodar Krai.
This is after two ships ran aground in stormy weather on December 15th, spilling thousands of tonnes of oil into the Black Sea.
Volunteers are working to save sea life, in a clean-up that’s likely to continue for months.
