Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered to send 150 firefighters to help combat California’s devastating wildfires, which have killed 16 people and displaced 150,000.
His announcement followed a controversial social media post by Donald Trump Jr., blaming donations to Ukraine for LA’s fire challenges.
Zelenskyy emphasized solidarity, while California Governor Gavin Newsom welcomed international support, including crews from Mexico and Canada.
Over 14,000 personnel, including prison inmates, are battling the fires, with two major blazes still uncontained after six days. Winds threaten to worsen the crisis.
Ooof, I think they might need to put fires out where they are more than in CA. Hell, can we in CO send another 50 and get two other states to pledge the same?
Of course, they can get back and forth in 24h so I guess the expertise can be utilized.
