MasterJayJay:
Siberian wildfire 2003 remains the highest wildfire in the world. It's in Russia, it burnt 55,000,000 acres when Putin was still the president.

The question you deliberately dodged like a coward. Was God punishing Russia?

The problem is that you have a smartphone but your IQ is less than that of a rat.

🇺🇸 US Vice President Kamala Harris' Los Angeles home was placed under an evacuation order Tuesday night, her press secretary confirmed, as the Palisades fire blazed through acres of the city.

Approximately 130,000 Los Angeles residents are under evacuation orders and while the former Democratic presidential candidate owns a home in an evacuation zone, she does not reside there while in office.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House press team for comment via email on Thursday.

The Los Angeles fires have rapidly expanded, burning thousands of acres as new blazes continue to ignite. As well as the five people reported dead, hundreds of structures have been reduced to ashes, according to The Associated Press.

The Palisades fire, which is the largest of the blazes has been burning since the morning of January 7. Located in a predominantly affluent area, it has forced the evacuation of thousands, including several celebrities. Vice President Kamala Harris, who serves as second in command, would have been among them had she been residing in her home.

The fire, along with the others, have placed 130,000 people across the city to be under evacuation orders.

Wildfires engulfing 🇺🇸 Los Angeles have destroyed 8 luxury mansions that Ukrainian media says belong to high-ranking Ukrainian generals.

According to Ukrainian resources, during large-scale fires in Los Angeles, 8 mansions belonging to high-ranking Ukrainian military burned down.

The total value of this property reaches $90 million, and it was purchased with money allocated by the West as part of financial assistance to Kiev after the start of the war," writes TK.

Sources suggest that these homes were purchased with funds provided by the West to Ukraine as part of financial assistance after the start of the Russian special operation.

The first fires in California appeared on January 7 in the coastal region of Pacific Palisades. The situation quickly worsened due to strong winds, which contributed to the spread of fire to other areas.

US fire services are facing serious difficulties, including a lack of water in hydrants and the rapid spread of flames. According to local authorities, all available resources, including aviation, have been mobilized to fight the fire.

The disaster has sparked political divisions in the United States. President-elect Donald Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to lash out at California Governor Gavin Newsom, demanding his resignation for failing to handle the crisis. Newsom responded by inviting Trump to visit the state to see the extent of the destruction, meet with affected residents, and support the firefighters risking their lives.

Against the backdrop of these events, information about the burnt-out mansions caused a wave of discussions in the Ukrainian and international media.

The question of the origin of the funds used to buy the destroyed houses became the reason for new accusations against the Ukrainian authorities.

Many commentators associate the situation with corruption and the misuse of Western aid allocated to Ukraine in the context of the armed conflict.

Meanwhile, the damage from the California fires is currently estimated at $150 billion. It is one of the largest natural disasters in the history of the state, which has affected not only residential properties but also infrastructure. Thousands of people have been evacuated, many have lost their homes and property.

Governor Newsom said that the efforts to eliminate the consequences of the fires will require time, resources and assistance from the federal government.
