MOSCOW. Dec 13 (Interfax) - Ship repair specialists will be able to continue the repairs on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier only after a Defense Ministry decision to allow them on board, a source at Zvyozdochka shipyard told Interfax.
"When the Defense Ministry makes the pertinent decision, we will gain access to the ship; we will be able to resume work. But not before that," the source said.
The company also said it was unaware as to whether its representatives will be involved in the official inquiry into the fire. "We have no idea as to whether we will be in that commission," the source said.
