Nagovitsina's son asked the head of the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General to help save his mother

Mikhail, the son of Russian mountaineer Natalia Nagovitsina, asked Alexander Bastrykin, the head of the Investigative Committee, Igor Krasnov, the Prosecutor General, and the Russian Foreign Ministry to help rescue his mother. The man's appeal on August 26 is published by RT.

Nagovitsin also posted footage from the drone online and called his mother an experienced climber, as she has a second sports category.

"The video I received from maga.fpv clearly shows that seven days after losing contact, she is actively waving her hand, full of energy. I am convinced that my mother is still alive," he wrote.

According to Nagovitsin, good weather is expected in the next two days. He believes that it will be impossible to carry out a rescue operation later.

Nagovitsin also asked for help in organizing aerial photography of the area of Victory Peak using a drone in order to confirm the fact that his mother is alive. If this turns out to be true, it will be necessary to organize a rescue operation.

The fact that 47-year-old Nagovitsina 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 about two weeks. Vera Belikova, the administrator of the Karkira base camp, called the climber a very strong and calm person. She has already had experience of climbing mountain peaks in the past, and many climbers know her.

Later, on August 23, it became known that the Italian climber Luca Sinigaglia, who tried to save Nagovitsina, suffered frostbite on his right hand and subsequently died of cerebral edema. On the same day, the head of the mountaineering base camp, Dmitry Grekov, announced the completion of the rescue operation at that time. He also added that since 1955, not a single person has been evacuated from Victory Peak.

On August 25, Kyrgyz climber Nail Muratov announced that attempts to evacuate the climber from Victory Peak could resume no earlier than July 2026. According to him, this will require a significant amount of resources, including a group of 10-12 highly qualified rescuers with the necessary equipment, water and food supplies.
