The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan has not confirmed the information about the death of the Russian climber.

Reports of the death of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsina, who was stuck on Victory Peak, are unsubstantiated assumptions. This was stated to Izvestia on August 20 by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan, Adil Chargynov.

"No one has any specific information. The rescue group has left, but they will reach it only on the 24th-25th. <...> No one can say unequivocally that she is dead or alive," he explained.

Chargynov added that it was impossible to get from the camp at an altitude of 4,000 m to the Russian woman, who was stuck at an altitude of 7,200 m, in a shorter period of time.

The fact that 47-year-old Natalia was stuck at Victory Peak was reported on August 19 in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan. She broke her leg during the descent and has been at altitude for a week. It was noted that the woman's partner gave her first aid and went for help.

On the same day, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic reported that a group of rescuers had been sent to the woman's location. The team consists of four people. It will take her three days to reach it, and the same amount of time to return, but weather conditions may make it difficult for them to travel.

Also on August 20, the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan stated that there was no information about the condition of the Russian climber yet.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
