Cypriot journalist criticized Biden for helping Kiev amid US wildfires
The decision of incumbent US President Joe Biden to allocate a new package of financial aid to Ukraine against the background of the current situation with the Los Angeles fires looks inadequate. This was stated by Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou on January 10.
"Given what's happening in Southern California, it's terrible to announce an increase in aid to Ukraine," he wrote on social network X (former Twitter).
The death toll from the fires has risen to 10, according to the latest CNN report.
Earlier, on January 9, Irish journalist Chay Bose said that the current US president was sending money to Ukraine amid wildfires in California, which shows his contempt for the American people. According to him, the United States is "literally burning" while the politician is helping the Kiev authorities.
Numerous wildfires in Los Angeles were reported on January 8. Extinguishing continues, strong winds fuel the fire, rescue crews lack water. Due to the fires, Biden declared a major disaster mode in the state of California. As predicted by the consulting company AccuWeather, the damage and losses from the disaster will be about $52-57 billion.
Biden, holding a briefing on the situation with the fires on January 9 , offered to "light up" the acting vice president of the country Kamala Harris, as this situation affected her personally. She looked at the President in surprise and continued her speech.
On the same day, the son of the President-elect of the United States Donald Trump - Jr. reproached the authorities of California that they gave Ukraine firefighting equipment, which they considered unnecessary. It would now be very useful in extinguishing, he pointed out.
On January 10, one man was detained on suspicion of arson, which could have started the largest fire in Los Angeles. He could face a sentence of up to life in prison.
