A major clean-up operation has been launched in Siberia after more than 15,000 tons of diesel fuel was released into a river above the Arctic circle — threatening a pristine territory through a series of lakes and tributaries.
In an unscheduled televised meeting devoted to disaster management, a normally cool and collected Putin, was visibly angered and lashed out at Sergei Lipin — the head of NTEK, a subsidiary of Nornickel that owns and operates the storage facility where the ruptured tank is located.
“The accident was caused by a sudden sinking of supporting posts in the basement of the storage tank,” the statement said., which is currently experiencing historic warmth. Greenpeace Russia director Vladimir Chuprov said in the statement on Wednesday, that the environmental impact could result in hundreds of millions of dollars of damages — to say nothing of the impact to local wildlife. He also cast doubt on current cleanup efforts.
