As RIA Novosti notes earlier, Putin has already asked his administration and the Cabinet of Ministers to prepare instructions on combating forest fires in Russia, in particular, on the introduction of a new method of providing financial assistance and support to the regions.

“As I understand it, it has already been done, a methodology has been prepared, you just need to track that it is being implemented and implemented more actively.

Of course, it is necessary to provide assistance to the regions in additional financing, where it is needed today, ”he said.

Earlier, the head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, Evgeny Zinichev, gave a forecast for wildfires in the country.

In an interview with Nation News, a forecaster, leading meteorologist of the Hydrometeorological Center, Mikhail Miloslavsky, told the reason for the abnormally hot weather in Russia in June.
