Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
“Tomorrow the President is scheduled to hold a meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council,” he said.
Peskov did not specify whether the situation with the Crimean bridge would be discussed at the meeting. “We’ll let you know following the results [of the meeting],” he said.
On Saturday morning, a truck exploded on the Crimean Bridge, collapsing two eastbound parts of its road section and subsequently setting ablaze a train of fuel tanks on a separate, adjacent rail portion of the bridge. As a result of the blast, three people were killed. A government commission chaired by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin was set up after the incident. Rail traffic has been restored on the bridge, which was also partly reopened for buses and automobiles.
Putin regularly holds operational meetings with the Security Council, as a rule they a held on a weekly basis.
