Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a direct line in Gostiny Dvor, called the Volgoneft tanker crash an environmental disaster and spoke about the measures being taken to eliminate the harmful consequences.
Almost 40% of the fuel has leaked out, this is already obvious. I asked the Prime Minister to organize a working group, all services are working.
The Russian President also emphasized that the solution to the problem would have to be divided into stages.
Now we need to do everything to fence off this area with booms, so as not to allow this spot to spread. We need to do everything to remove the fuel that appears on the shore.
According to the head of state, a group of 4,000 people is working on solving the problem.
We need to think now about what to do with the lifting [of the tankers], one way or another we need to pull the sunken tankers ashore.
