Chechnya and Dagestan received additional funds to address the consequences of the floods.

The Russian government has allocated another 2.5 billion rubles for flood relief in Dagestan and Chechnya. The funding will be used for hydraulic engineering work.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations as of May 22, 274,000 applications have been received from victims in Dagestan. By June 23, 52,386 people had received payments totaling 1.9 billion rubles, which is less than 20% of the total number of applicants.

The Russian government has allocated additional funding of 2.5 billion rubles to Dagestan and Chechnya to eliminate the consequences of floods, landslides, mudflows, and rockfalls.

The funds will be used to prevent future floods: emergency repair work on hydraulic structures and urgent work to restore the capacity of riverbeds rivers and the construction of temporary dams, the government press service reported on its official Telegram channel.

Acting head of Dagestan, Fyodor Shchukin, specifically thanked Moscow for this decision on his Telegram channel. “From the first days of the emergency, we have felt the federal center’s support. Recovery is underway, and at the same time, we are developing systemic measures to minimize the risks of similar incidents in the future,” he wrote.

Earlier, Dagestan and Chechnya were allocated approximately 3 billion rubles to eliminate the consequences of the flood. This amount, as reported, was used for the construction and major repairs of damaged facilities, Interfax notes.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that residents of Dagestan affected by the flooding in March and April are still waiting for compensation from the authorities for lost property in June. In Mamedkala alone, where more than 500 homes were damaged by the flood, victims had submitted more than 400 claims for compensation by June 20. Chechnya residents have submitted more than 29,000 claims for compensation to the authorities due to flood damage. According to them, compensation documents in Chechnya are collected without unnecessary formalities; photographs of damaged homes are often sufficient.

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".
