“A map of how a radioactive cloud could spread after an accident. The wording itself is rather absurd, ”said Peskov.
According to him, the authorities are working to prevent any danger to citizens in connection with this contingency.
The Kremlin representative also emphasized that the head of state receives all the information about the incident.
Commenting on reports that the radiation monitoring stations in Kirov and Dubna had ceased to provide information after the emergency, he indicated that this was not the responsibility of the presidential administration.
“We have the relevant bodies that deal with and ensure the operation of these stations. There is no doubt that they perform their functions in the proper amount, ”he added.
Earlier, Putin, during a joint press conference with French colleague Emmanuel Macron, said that there was no increase in radiation background after the accident near Arkhangelsk.
