Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv was ready to help California battle its devastating wildfires, offering to send 150 Ukrainian firefighters to aid the ravaged state.
“Today, I instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs and our diplomats to prepare for the possible participation of our rescuers in combating the wildfires in California,” Zelenskyy said on social media.
“The situation there is extremely difficult, and Ukrainians can help Americans save lives. This is currently being coordinated, and we have offered our assistance to the American side through the relevant channels,” he added. “150 of our firefighters are already prepared.”
At least 24 people have been killed and entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles reduced to ash as California faces what its governor, Gavin Newsom, said could be the worst natural disaster in United States history.
Zelenskyy’s offer came after Donald Trump Jr., eldest son and adviser of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, took a swipe last week at Ukraine over the fires.
