Environmentalists say the oil spill is the worst such accident ever in the Arctic region. FMTNews

Rescuers work to halt the spread of an oil spill outside Norilsk, after 21,000 tons of diesel fuel spilled into waterways.

The metals giant, which owns the reservoir through a subsidiary, tried to contain the damage on its own for two days before specialists were called in from companies and agencies across Russia, the delay making Putin furious this week. “It’s necessary to carry out all the compensatory measures to restore biodiversity and the environment,” he said, pointing out that had the company replaced the old reservoir, it would not be faced with such expenses now.Potanin estimated that the operations would cost about 10 billion rubles , on top of any fines.Investigators are probing the accident on three different charges, and have arrested one person who works at the power plant where the reservoir is located.
