Orsk Mayor Vasily Kozupitsa speaks to city residents during a protest against local authorities’ perceived inaction following the dam breach in the city of Orsk, Orenburg Region, Russia. On April 5, a dam protecting Orsk from the Ural River burst, resulting in the mass evacuation of residents. The following day, a burst of the second embankment dam occurred in the city, significantly expanding the already flooded area.
