The European Commission refused to ease sanctions for the sake of servicing the Russian Ka-32,

used to extinguish forest fires in Spain

After the imposition of sanctions against the helicopter manufacturer, problems arose with the supply of spare parts, which is why part of the Ka-32 was not ready to fly. Spain asked for an exception, but was refused.

 

In Spain, more than 121,000 people have fled their homes due to the spread of the fire. The area of fires in Madrid and Avila alone exceeded 45 thousand hectares.

 

According to the newspaper, Portugal also failed to help by transferring its six Ka-32s to Ukraine.
