Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting at the National Crisis Management Centre of the Ministry for Emergencies held to discuss the relief efforts at the Sayano-Shushenskaya power plant
“The investigation of the reasons for the accident has not been completed yet. I would not like to make premature statements, as this could influence the results of the investigation. It is above all for specialists, who, I hope, will work professionally, and reach their conclusions. A decision has been made to speed up the construction of the onshore spillway. I spoke about it during the meeting at the Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant. As much as 4.3 billion roubles will be allocated from the Government’s reserve for this purpose this year.”
