Peskov reported on medical assistance to volunteers collecting fuel oil in the Black Sea

Volunteers cleaning up the fuel oil spill after the accident with tankers in the Kerch Strait are provided with medical assistance when they need it. This was announced by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on January 16.

"Those who work selflessly may be exposed to harmful influences. If necessary and in any case, all necessary medical assistance is and will be provided," Peskov said.

He explained that fuel oil emits harmful vapors, and it is dangerous for people with certain diseases to breathe them. At the same time, the specialized government commission and Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev understand this perfectly well. Peskov emphasized the importance of volunteers to constantly coordinate their work with this commission.
