The situation is complicated by two ice jams, the length of which is measured in tens of kilometers. Two ice-breakers operate for their destruction, and demolition teams where the depth does not allow.

Total of 396 people and 122 units of equipment, 38 boats were attracted to the elimination of the flood consequences.
