The vessel "Eventin," loaded with 100,000 tons of oil, is adrift off the northern German coast. Germany's foreign minister said the ship is one of Moscow's "dilapidated oil tankers" used to circumvent sanctions.

Calm down there, Exxon-Valdez.

Where the hell did the crew go? Did they just leave this shit to spill?! If so, that’s low… even for Putin.

There is currently no risk of spilling and the crew is still on the boat and doesn't have to be evacuated.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

Given their track record I wouldn't say there is no risk of spilling.

Might as well go "rescue" it.
