More than 5,000 dolphins die in Black Sea as a result of Russia’s war

Russia's war in Ukraine is not only killing civilians but defenceless animals as well.

Marine biologists and ecologists from countries in the Black Sea region are sounding the alarm, as dolphins die en masse for the fourth month in a row.

Ivan Rusev, an environmental scientist at Ukraine's Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park, estimates at least 5,000 dolphins have died in the Black Sea between March and July.

This number is three times higher compared to pre-war figures, according to Rusev.
