WASHINGTON, October 1 – Novosti. American director and actor Kevin Sorbo, known for his leading role in the series “The Amazing Journeys of Hercules”, called on the country’s leadership to help the victims of the hurricane that hit the States, and not Kyiv.
“How controversial is it to want to give money to hurricane survivors rather than to foreign countries?” he wrote on Twitter.
Sorbo stressed that a number of states faced problems due to the elements, and “a lot of money is sent abroad.” He called on the United States to stop supporting Ukraine financially.
The actor made his statement against the background of congressional approval of new assistance to Ukraine in the amount of about $ 13 billion.
Hurricane Ian hit the southwest coast of Florida on Wednesday , causing widespread destruction and flooding, leaving more than 2.5 million consumers without power and paralyzing telecommunications networks and airports. According to authorities, the death toll in Florida from the effects of the hurricane is likely to exceed 20 people. On Thursday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called the damage from the hurricane historic, and described the overflow of one of the local rivers as an event that happens once every five thousand years. According to meteorologists, “Ian” will reach South Carolina on Friday and continue towards North Carolina and Virginia .
