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.
Ukraine was literally being blamed for exacerbating the LA fire damage.
They were in the middle of our politics whether they liked it or not.
