The United States has made a significant decision regarding air defense systems for Ukraine. In light of Russia’s renewed attacks on Ukraine’s power grid and infrastructure, the White House has prioritized delivering newly-made Patriot and NASAMS missile systems to Ukraine over existing orders from other allies. This move aims to bolster Kyiv’s air defense capabilities, especially as Russia escalates its missile and drone attacks. While other countries will still receive their ordered missiles, the delivery timelines may be slightly extended. The commitment to supporting Ukraine and other partners facing “existential danger” remains steadfast
