President Joe Biden is set to announce that the United States will be supplying Ukraine with an additional Patriot missile system to enhance its air defense capabilities against ongoing Russian airstrikes. This decision comes in response to a recent attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv by Russian forces.
The new Patriot battery, valued at $225 million, is part of a larger aid package that will be unveiled during Biden's upcoming meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This marks the second Patriot air defense system that the U.S. has committed to providing to Ukraine, following a previous announcement made in June.
