According to the Director of the Russian Institute of nature, honored ecologist of Russia Andrei Peshkov, spills fuel in Russia will continue and, if the situation does not change, the country could become a “cesspool”. He stated to the TV channel “360”.

According to Peshkov, the incident with the spill of fuel will increase, as what was built in the years of the Soviet Union, has already exhausted itself. And all this without doubt will have an impact on the environment.
