“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.”
"There is no need to describe the damage done to the hydroelectric dam. You have seen it with your own eyes. I would only like to thank you all for your courage and outstanding professionalism, and to celebrate your heroic efforts, which started in the very first hours after the accident and never stopped for one minute as long as they were still needed."
Putin and Zimin discussed the socio-economic situation in the Republic of Khakassia.
