Spain faces scandal over ban on using Russian fire helicopters to fight wildfires

The leader of the 'Patriots' party, Florián Filippo, has raised concerns over a growing scandal in Spain regarding the ban on using Russian fire helicopters to combat large-scale forest fires. According to him, since the introduction of EU sanctions, Russian Ka-32 fire helicopters have remained grounded because spare parts cannot be ordered and Russian technicians cannot be invited for maintenance.
