Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that a $2 billion fine paid by metals miner Nornickel after a fuel spill, the country’s worst Arctic environmental disaster, will be used to improve ecology in the region.

The leak of 21,000 tonnes of diesel into rivers and subsoil from a storage tank at Nornickel’s power plant in Siberia last year had angered Putin.
