VIDEO: Two Russian Ministers Left Without Power During Meeting With Putin

During a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, two government members, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, were left without power due to a disconnection of electricity at the Moscow-City business complex. This was reported by RBC.

As seen in the broadcast of the meeting, Reshetnikov was given the floor only after electricity was restored in his office. Putin drew attention to these issues, stating, “I hope that the repair work being done there in your complex will not interfere with you in preparing a report,” he addressed Reshetnikov.

Earlier, it was reported that three towers of the IQ district in the Moscow-City business center were deprived of power, and people were urgently evacuated from the towers. Medical and emergency vehicles were on standby near the buildings.
