OREANDA-NEWS  Russian singer Philip Kirkorov said that he was stuck in the mountains of Sochi because of a river that overflowed its banks. This is reported by the Telegram channel Kub Mash.

The actor arrived in Psakho Canyon to film a Russian comedy. "The river has risen to the level of 10 meters, we are gradually flooding, we are asking for help," the artist said, comparing the situation with what happened on the Titanic.
