A third Russian ship in Russian controlled Kerch Strait has sent distress signals Tuesday, according to Russian media reports. On Sunday, two Russian crude oil product vessels were badly damaged in stormy seas, one splitting in half and leaking large amounts of oil product, and covering the Russian Black Sea coastline. All three ships are said to be well over 50 years old and part of Russia\'s shadow fleet skirting Western sanctions, unable to obtain internationally recognized, legitimate insurance coverage.
