Russia is currently facing severe floods that have led to fresh evacuations and significant damage in western Siberia and neighboring Kazakhstan. The floods, exacerbated by a 'colossal' amount of river water and rising icy waters in the flood-hit central regions, have prompted Russian authorities to initiate new evacuations. In Orenburg, residents affected by the floods are appealing to President Putin for assistance, despite their ongoing support for his policies. The situation has also sparked criticism from locals regarding the government's response to the disaster.
A Russian woman is surprised by the lack of response from the authorities to the catastrophic floods. She says that Putin should resign, allegedly. I'm afraid (for her) this is just the beginning. https://t.co/lYJLQySaUJ
