Putin is interested in something completely different – the oppositionist said how Russia reacts to fires Victoria Grabovskaya

In Russia, natural fires are burning near Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar Territory. Fire engulfed resort villages where recreation centers were burning.

In recent years, Russia has seen an increase in such phenomena as drought, forest fires, abnormal frosts in spring. According to the former Minister of Energy of Russia, oppositionist Vladimir Milov, which he expressed 24 Channel, these are the consequences of climate change. However, Russia's infrastructure is not at all ready to combat such phenomena.

Financed on a residual basis

Vladimir Putin back in 2016 liquidated the forest guard in Russia and cut other supervisory authorities. In general, all these processes were abandoned. Also, several years ago, it was decided that in remote areas where there are no populated areas nearby, it is permissible not to put out fires at all.

In addition , the cost item for fighting forest fires is financed on a residual basis. Now the priority for the Russian government is the army, so all funds are aimed at financing the war. Therefore, there is no money left for other expenses,” the oppositionist noted. p class=”bloquote cke-markup”>Putin is interested in something completely different. Previously they warned that there would probably be fires in the summer. But the authorities do not have enough infrastructure or even the desire to extinguish them. Therefore, recently every year it turns into a nationwide natural disaster. Unfortunately, everything will continue to burn, and the authorities can’t do anything about it,” emphasized Vladimir Milov.

Recall that a natural fire in the Krasnodar region began between Anapa and Abrau-Durso on the territory of the Sukhaya Shchel nature reserve. Subsequently it increased to 51 hectares. At the same time, rescuers cannot curb the flames. Also, a state of emergency has been declared in the region and the evacuation of people has begun.
