River Ural has burst its banks, inundating thousands of homes after heavy rain and melting ice swelled rivers across the region and in neighbouring Kazakhstan. Vast swathes of the city remain covered in muddy water, piling more misery on its residents.

"I saved every penny, I denied myself everything, I tried for the sake of the house. And now it's all flooded - it's a nightmare," says 56-year-old medical worker Lyudmila Borodina.

Kazakhstan is in Asia, not what most people imagine when they hear “Russia”.

I’m guessing there’s no “flood insurance” over there...

Mighty White of Putin to offer $100 in compensation to the flood victims.

Biden’s off the hook because he gave $700 to Maui fire victims. We are so lucky to have Biden, he takes care of our people! /s
