The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, being in contact with the Russian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, is trying to resolve the issue of the rescue of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsina in the mountains, follows from a comment by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova. It was published on August 20 in the Telegram channel of the department.

"The Russian Foreign Ministry, in contact with the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bishkek, continues to monitor the situation. We are grateful to the Kyrgyz authorities for their attention to this emergency and the prompt measures taken," the publication says.

According to Zakharova, the embassy has been in close contact with the Kyrgyz government since the first day of the incident and is trying to find a solution to the situation.

The fact that 47-year-old Nagovitsyna 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.

Later, the head of the press service of the Kyrgyz Ministry of Emergency Situations, Adil Chargynov, said that reports of the death of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsina, who was stuck on Victory Peak, were unsubstantiated assumptions. He added that it was impossible to get from the camp at an altitude of 4 thousand meters to the Russian woman, who was stuck at an altitude of 7.2 thousand meters, in a shorter period of time.
