Russian President Vladimir Putin extended his condolences to his Brazilian counterpart Jair Bolsonaro over the victims of the floods that killed dozens this week.
Putin sent a telegram to Bolsonaro to offer his sincere condolences for the tragic incident caused by heavy rains and floods in the northeastern states of the country, according to The Kremlin.
In the message, he affirmed that Russia shares the grief of those who lost their beloved ones in the floods, wishing a speedy recovery to all the injured.
Over 100 people are missing or confirmed dead in Brazil, the government announced on Sunday. Mudslides and heavy rainfall tore through several urban neighbourhoods in the northeastern part of the country.
The Brazilian President sent his condolences to the families of 91 people who died in the torrential rains.
"I tried to land, but the pilots' recommendation was that, given the instability of the soil, we could have an accident. So we decided against it," he told a news conference.
