"For the first time ever, Ukraine is joining the 🇪🇺 Civil Protection Mechanism as a provider of assistance.
A 70-member Ukrainian firefighting team is on its way to France to help battle the wildfires.
While defending itself against Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine is also helping protect lives across Europe.
This is European solidarity.
Every day, Ukraine shows it belongs in our Union."
- Ursula von der Leyen
