There are no malfunctions in technical or engineering provision of the summit because of the bad weather conditions,” he said.

According to Prikhodko, “yesterday and the day before yesterday, when it was sunny, leaders of the states and experts who accompanied them were moving across the territory of Konstantinovsky Palace in open cars with pleasure, but today there is no such opportunity because of the rain.”
