“Forecasts of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Roshydromet, Rosleskhoz were brought to the regions of Siberia. But they could not take sufficient measures to prevent fires and eliminate their outbreaks, ”TASS quotes him.
According to him, the situation with fires in Siberia, in the Far East and in certain regions of the Urals is developing according to an unfavorable scenario.
“The area of fires has increased due to the long dry weather and the lack of active measures to extinguish most of the outbreaks, including in remote areas,” said Abanin.
Earlier, the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Uss, said that extinguishing forest fires in part of Siberia could be meaningless.
In July, Uss visited the submerged city of Kansk. During the visit, he sharply responded to a question from local residents about the state of the road, seeing in their words an attempt to “swing the law”.
