Hundreds of wildfires have broken out across Greece since May. While summer fires are common in Greece, extraordinarily hot and dry weather linked to climate change have made the blazes more frequent and intense, according to scientists.
More than 560 firefighters backed by volunteers, 17 water-bombing planes and 15 helicopters battled the latest wildfire that broke out at 3 p.m. (midday GMT) on Sunday near Varnavas 35 km north of the capital.
By Monday morning the fire had spread southward and was burning on several fronts including the village of Grammatiko, the ancient town of Marathon, the seaside municipality of Nea Makri and Mount Penteli just north of Athens.

Well, instead of buying and sending weapons to Ukraine, Greece could use the money to buy equipment to avoid these fires. Let's not forget that Greece has supplied Ukraine with ammunition, small arms, and other essential military equipment. Reports suggest that Greece also sent anti-tank missiles and other rocket systems to aid Ukraine’s defense efforts. How about buying helicopters to extinguish your forest fires?
