Good 👍🏻
Poor Russians and starving
Putin busy now : war with Ukrain , now have to fight with floods
why would god do th….oh yeah, I guess
Karma ! Last year the Russians destroyed a Ukranian dam.
Remember when Ruzzia deliberately destroyed dams in Ukraine and flooded many people. Then didn’t help anyone.
I feel sorry for those people!😒
Intense rain seems to be a thing in this era. Of course, we do not know if the damn had been kept up/repaired on a regular basis?
(Most Russian infrastructure dates to the post WW2 era)
Russia should remember, what goes around, comes around.
Have they blamed Ukraine yet?
Russia should blame Ukraine straight away…
Dam burst for a reason. I will bet lack of maintenance is the main-suspected one. This is what war economy does to a country. If we continue with this crazy war, both west & East, we will all suffer. Sympathy to all brave people hurt by this tragedy.
If Trump were president/dictator of the U.S., he would be sending Soviet Russia a few hundred billion dollars in military weapons aid, and transport planes loaded with "bergers."
Oh the poor innocent Russians. What did they ever do to hurt anyone? So unjust!
The USA and All the other EU countries will be pouring the relief support into Russia now… Right after it gets passed in through congress…
Putin sins that falling on russia a wicked man.
Gerasimov, where are the dam engineers
I am trying very hard not to lose my sense of compassion. I feel bad for these people and I despise evil Putin

The vile comments here make me despise Western Europeans, not Russians. Celebrating people getting flooded only reveals your morale bankruptcy. You've been showing your true face since your sanctions backfired.
NATO is responsible
Its a dam, only the workings Ie. if it was hydroelectric needs maintenance.
You don't need to maintain concrete.
couldnt happen to nicer people.. NOT
Putin reported that the water was fleeing in the direction of Ukraine.
Oh no, what have poor russia done to deserve it 🎉
Since when did you start to be interested in Russia?
Makes me feel very sad to hear about the plight of
the people of Kazakhstan.
GG Russia. Keep up the good work.
Putin is too busy to help the Russian people as he doesn't care about them and spent all the Russian peoples money on war !
Oh no!
Damn smoker’s again!
Bloodymir won’t share a single thought or tear about these people!
He’ll find a way to explain that Ukraine is responsible for this!😅
Aahhahahaha 😂😂😂
