The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan told about the plans of the operation to rescue Nagovitsina

At the moment, it is unknown whether a new group will be formed or whether the search will continue on the basis of the old group for the rescue of Russian climber Natalia Nagovitsina, stuck on Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan. This was announced to Izvestia on August 22 by the head of the Department for work with the Media and the population of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic, Adil Chargynov.

"It is not yet known whether a new group will be formed or whether the search will be based on this one. It is still unclear whether there will be repeated attempts to reach Natalia and Luka," Chargynov said.

He noted that the group of climbers who went to help Nagovitsyna had to return back, among other things, due to the aggravated consequences of an old injury to one of the rescuers.

"At an altitude of 6.1 thousand. The head of the rescue team had an old injury. Most likely, he injured his back in the helicopter crash the last time. Therefore, it was decided to return to the base camp," he said.

The fact that 47-year-old Nagovitsina was stuck at Victory Peak became known on August 19. She broke her leg during the descent and has been at altitude for a week. On the same day, a group of rescuers was sent to the woman.

On August 20, the head of the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan, Adil Chargynov, noted that reports of Nagovitsina's death were unsubstantiated assumptions.

Vera Belikova, the administrator of the Karkyr base camp, said that Nagovitsyna is a very strong and calm person. She has already had experience of climbing mountain peaks in the past, and many climbers know her.
