The minister at a meeting of the Russian leader with members of the Cabinet said that people during the elimination of fires work in the old way, "in some places even negligently."

“The matter is serious, so submit your considerations as quickly as possible.

Today or tomorrow, there is still time.

Good?

To correct the situation,” Putin said.

Earlier, the press service of the Russian Emergencies Ministry announced a significant decrease in the number of man-made fires in the country over the week.
