Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to pay a working visit to the regions of Russia where forest fires occur.
“Yesterday I discussed several issues with the Prime Minister, including issues related to fire fighting. I asked him to visit these regions,” the Russian President said at a meeting on issues related to fires in Russia.
In several regions of Russia, forest fires are observed due to rising temperatures, and yesterday the Russian Emergencies Ministry reported that the area of forest fires exceeded 180 hectares only in the Ryazan region.
A few days earlier, the department indicated that 52 natural fires were extinguished in Russia per day, which spread over an area of 265 hectares.
