In the summer of 2026, President Vladimir Putin signed a law that banned the construction of capital facilities in areas of flooding and flooding. An exception was made only for engineering protection.
Due to the fact that the border was drawn according to the old method, almost 1.2 million sites are now under threat of flooding. According to the rules in force from June 5, 2024, they would be outside the danger zone.
