“This equipment will complement other air defense contributions announced by our allies and partners. This increased air defense will be critical for Ukraine, as Russia continues to use cruise missiles and Iranian-made drones to attack critical civilian infrastructure,” explained the US national security adviser.
This is the 25th time that the US has sent security aid to Ukraine under the presidential drawdown authority.
