Ukraine offers Portugal assistance in extinguishing forest fires – meeting of Interior Minister with Ambassador
Interior Minister of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko, on behalf of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, met with Portuguese Ambassador to Ukraine António Vasco Alves Machado.
As Klymenko recalled on the Telegram channel, Portugal is now suffering from large-scale fires that have engulfed the central and northern parts of the country. The heat and heavy winds make it difficult to extinguish the fire.
The Interior Minister offered the ambassador assistance from Ukrainian rescuers. "The State Emergency Service has a specialized firefighting aircraft and trained specialists to work in such conditions," he said.
