I'm pretty sure Zelensky correctly determined that the firefighters can do more good for🇺🇦in California for a few weeks (by encouraging🇺🇸support of🇺🇦) than they can in Ukraine. The politics of being seen to be helping as well as needing help are more important than keeping them in🇺🇦for a short time.
Some MAGAts might think that & others might think that Ukraine is more worthy of aid because it's providing aid too. I expect the impact is positive in the overall population & more of a wash among MAGAts.
Of course, I don't really know that, but I expect Zelensky's staff gave it plenty of thought.
The US will not save Ukraine. Ukraine will save the US by bringing about Putin's demise. With common effort, ingenuity, and great bravery they do the impossible, and show us the way forward. Slava Ukainia, mortem tyrannis.
As a Californian, please don't and save your courageous first responders for Ukraine who is fighting for its survival. California is wealthy; we are the 5th largest GDP in the world. #SlavaUkraini #ARMUkraineToWinNOW
Amazing, Ukraine needs every helping hand and still stands with its allies and is there if you need help. Ukraine will be an amazing EU member and NATO ally. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Ukraine should just send water, very very slowly.
