Jet response from the Kremlin to Trump! 'Mutual aid is always good'

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov answered journalists' questions about the agenda in the capital Moscow.

Evaluating Trump's words that they were ready to provide assistance within the scope of the diagnosis of pneumonia of undetermined cause in Irkutsk, Peskov said, "It is always good to offer mutual assistance."

'IT MAY CAUSE A NEW TENSION PROCESS'

Answering the question about the epidemiological situation in the region, Peskov stated that the Russian Human Health and Consumer Rights Protection Service (Rospotrebnadzor) shared comprehensive information on the subject.

Peskov also evaluated Lithuania's preliminary decision to lift the constitutional ban on the possession of nuclear weapons on its territory and said that this step could lead to a new period of tension in the region.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Irkutsk Regional Governor Igor Kobzev announced that an extraordinary sanitary and anti-epidemic commission meeting was held on October 2, upon information that there was a "suspicion of a particularly dangerous infection" in a person living in the region.

On some social media channels, it was claimed that an employee of the anti-plague institute died due to "pulmonary plague" on the same day.

In the statement made by Rospotrebnadzor, it was reported that special measures were implemented after an employee of the Siberian and Far Eastern Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute was diagnosed with "pneumonia of unknown cause."
