Putin will pay attention to the accident at the thermal power station in Ulan-Ude

The press conference is broadcast by RT.

“As for the CHPP, we are now sorting it out.

Now, after the end of the press conference, I’ll find out what is happening there and how we need to help, ”Putin said.

At night at the TPP-1 in Ulan-Ude, a short circuit occurred with a fire in the power wires in the cable compartment supplying the control panel.

This led to the shutdown of four heating boilers and a turbine generator “in conditions of low ambient temperatures in the city, down to -30 ° C,” the UK said.

The Mayor's Office of Ulan-Ude will distribute more than 500 heating appliances to residents after the accident.
