Has this emergency unit been initiated for Türkiye as well for the recent wildfires in the west of the country ?
🔔 Wildfires are rising — but the real fire will come if Ukraine loses the battle. This war is not as far away as it may seem. Ukraine is Europe’s shield, and if that shield falls, the flames of aggression will reach us all — not just metaphorically. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism shows what we can do when we act together. Let’s apply the same unity and urgency to stop the war. We need more than planes and firefighters — we need political will, strategic foresight, and unshakable solidarity. 🇺🇦 Support Ukraine now — because the fire at Europe’s door is real.
ברכותיי! 🎉
Well done!
Maybe a good start would be stop buying fracking originated fossil fuels, abort the rearmEu insane plan and stop sponsoring Eternal war and genocide in Palestine and Ucrain. And then maybe have a real green new deal where the real culprits are forced to pay for the disasters they caused leading to climate change - the mega corporations - and not the citizens.
This raises important questions about implementation. What challenges have you encountered?
Numbers for comparison are not showing that europe is ready, is showing exactly the opposite !!!
