Dmitry Medvedev gave the order to provide all necessary aid to the victims of the Kolskaya drilling rig accident and investigate the circumstances of the rig’s overturning.
The President issued these instructions during a meeting with First Deputy Emergency Situations Minister Ruslan Tsalikov, who briefed him on the rescue operations underway in the Sea of Okhotsk.
Mr Tsalikov said that 14 members of the rig’s crew had been rescued and the rescue operation continues, but it is being hampered by poor weather conditions.
