The ability to provide medium-range air defense for protection will be completely depleted by May 23, the Washington Post reports. The analysis of the situation was carried out in the period from the end of February to the beginning of March of this year.

The Pentagon said that the air defense system of Ukraine remains the main priority for the United States in the matter of assistance to Kiev. On April 6, retired Lieutenant Colonel of the LPR People's Militia Andriy Marochko reported that Ukrainian troops had transferred new air defense forces and means to the area of Chasov Yar.
