The Biden administration has made a significant policy adjustment to prioritize critical air defense capabilities for Ukraine amidst Russia's ongoing assault on the country. This decision aims to ensure Ukraine's survival as it faces relentless missile and drone attacks from Russia.
Ukrainian officials had emphasized the urgent need for additional air defenses to defend against Russia's aerial assaults on cities and civilian infrastructure. As a result, the US will begin delivering Patriot and NASAM interceptors to Ukraine this summer, impacting the timelines for other countries awaiting these weapons.
