MOSCOW
(Sputnik) - The families of the seamen who were on the missing Argentine
submarine ARA San Juan are preparing a letter for Russian President Vladimir
Putin to ask him to continue the search for the submarine, the Clarin newspaper
reported on Monday, citing Luisa Rodriguez, mother of one of the submariners.
The
families of the crew want to thank the Russian president
for helping in the search and to ask Russia not to give
up looking for it.
Meanwhile, the
Argentine Islas Malvinas vessel, equipped with Russia's Pantera Plus submersible for deep-water
search missions, along with the Russian Navy's oceanographic research
vessel Yantar, are examining new objects as a part of the search
for the missing submarine.
In
November, the Russian president offered Argentina assistance in locating
the missing submarine. Since then, Moscow has sent various equipment to assist the
operation.
The
Argentine Navy halted rescue activities on November 30, 15 days
after the loss of communication with ARA San Juan submarine and its 44 crew members
during a routine patrol in the South Atlantic off the coutry's
coast. However, the search for the vessel is still currently underway,
involving ships and equipment from various countries.
