Honey Spill Covers Highway

Motorists traveling on a highway between Kiev and Odessa got a sweet surprise Wednesday when a truck spilled 800 kilograms of honey onto the road.

The honey left a gooey mess covering three of the highway’s four lanes after a truck carrying the honey in barrels collided with another truck in Ukraine’s Odessa region, Interfax reported, citing the Emergency Situations Ministry.

The report did not say who was responsible for the accident.

The highway was temporarily closed while a ministry crew cleaned up the mess.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
