The Kremlin will compensate Dagestan and Chechnya for flood victims.

The Russian government allocated 385 million rubles from the reserve fund to compensate Dagestan and Chechnya for the costs of aid to victims of the spring floods.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on June 25, it was reported that the total amount of payments received by residents of Dagestan affected by the floods had reached 1.9 billion rubles. More than 52,000 people received assistance, which is less than 20% of the total number of applicants. The Makhachkala mayor's office reported that more than 23,000 Makhachkala residents received payments following the spring floods. Residents, commenting on the government's report on social media, complained that the compensation amount is insufficient for home repairs, and that they have to run around to different authorities to get the money.

The Russian government has allocated 385 million rubles from its reserve fund to compensate Dagestan and Chechnya for the costs of assisting victims of the spring floods.

"Over 385 million rubles will be allocated from the government's reserve fund to Dagestan and Chechnya to reimburse expenses related to providing support measures to citizens affected by the floods. "An order to this effect has been signed," the Russian government press service reported.

These funds are intended to compensate the republics for the one-time financial assistance payments, as well as financial assistance to citizens who have completely or partially lost essential property.

Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and have become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026." The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
