Russia's President Vladimir Putin has declared a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of oil leaked into a river within the Arctic Circle.
President Putin expressed anger after discovering officials only learnt about the incident two days later. And in a televised video conference on Wednesday, Mr Putin lambasted the head of the company over the timeliness of its response."Why did government agencies only find out about this two days after the fact?" he asked the subsidiary's chief, Sergei Lipin. "Are we going to learn about emergency situations from social media?"
Mr Putin has ordered an investigation into the accident and a manager at the power plant has since been detained.President Putin expressed shock after hearing officials became aware of the spill days after it happenedThe accident happened when the pillars supporting a fuel tank at a power plant began to sink. The area is built on permafrost which has been melting as the climate warms.
