A skimmer is not essential for the Black Sea. A canister is sufficient. A small hang-on skimmer like the Prism from Red Sea will work. You can find the coordinates of dealers in the section dedicated to this brand.

Good day, Meduza!
I envy you with white envy and also recommend getting into the sea, it's very interesting. If there is still a chance to dive and collect sand and beautiful stones covered with mussels and seaweed, you will have a wonderful aquarium. I especially recommend collecting mussels; although they will be hungry, they will greatly help with filtration.
In my Black Sea aquarium, there are three pumps and a homemade skimmer with a wooden diffuser, and more than 50 fish and just as many invertebrates live there.
I wish you good luck.
Sincerely.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I will try to start with invertebrates - shrimp, sea anemones, hermit crabs, mussels - if they are available near the shore in winter.

Hello Meduz!
Coastal animals won't go anywhere in winter; only some fish go deeper, while others come to the shore with cold water. Be sure to write about your successes.
Best regards.
