The Kremlin said it would attack the US-send air defense missiles shipment to Ukraine.
America is all set to send patriot defense missiles to Ukraine. The announcement is expected to be made by President Joe Biden in the coming week. The Patriot missile system is one of the world’s most advanced air defense systems. s, the Ukrainian government has requested assistance in supporting its air defense system for some time due to the ongoing killings of civilians and the extensive blackouts caused by the Russian attack. However, it is unclear how many missile launchers the US will send to Ukraine.
In response to the development, the Kremlin warns that they will target any shipment sent by the US, leading to unpredictable consequences and threats to global security.
The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine. Upon approval, Ukrainian soldiers will learn how to use the air defense system at a German military base.
More than 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the war began in February. Recent developments indicate that Ukraine is currently facing a threat from the air. The Ukrainian infrastructure has been regularly targeted by Russian fighter planes during the last few months, destroying water and electricity supplies and leaving millions without power.
The West provided Ukraine with advanced air defense systems, but these systems were insufficient since they were only designed to intercept missiles. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, and his army generals have already said they expect a new Russian offensive in the coming days, and they call on the West to give them maximum support. The patriotic air defense missile system will allow Ukraine to prevent Russian air superiority, which will enable Ukraine to confront Russian air attacks and push back hard against them with counter strategies.
