Here are some more interesting associations between the Ukraine crisis and the present California "rain" drought crisis.

The territory of the Ukraine is located in the same southwest corner direction from the territory of Russia, California is also in this same "southwest" direction corner in the continental USA's 48 states.

Also both the first letters of these two names are similar in English, as a U and a C are basically the same except rotated by 90 or 270 angular degrees.

The Ukraine is also associated with that which blocks Russia's desire to have naval access to the waters of the Black Sea, and also the Ukraine is associated with the desire of some persons and groups who would desire that this Russian Black Sea naval access be blocked or prevented from happening.

As the time between California and the Ukraine is about 12 hours difference, then in a real sense these two are almost the exact opposite and inversion of the other in physical location.

Also the names of the larger waters that are located close to these two areas are exactly opposite in meaning. The word "Black" as in Black Sea sometimes refers to danger, and the Pacific Ocean refers to a peaceful ocean.
