Mishustin called the fight against forest fires a top priority.
“There is a difficult situation in a number of regions now.
To help them eliminate fires faster, we will allocate over 2.5 billion rubles to them.
We will direct most of the appropriations directly to fight fires - 25 constituent entities of Russia will receive them, ”he said.
In addition, additional monitoring of fire hazard in forests on the ground and in the air will be carried out in about 50 more regions.
Earlier, the Ministry of Natural Resources announced that Yakutia and Priangarye had underestimated data on fires.
URA.RU also reported that a landscape fire occurred in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug on an area of 57.8 hectares.
