“We are working very closely with allies and partners on the issue of providing additional modern air defense systems,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Kirby recalled that the United States was not interested in escalating the conflict - according to him, it was for this reason that Washington refused to provide Kyiv with long-range weapons.
In September, it was reported that the Ukrainian authorities were requesting additional weapons from the United States, including long-range missile systems.
As specified, the requirements of Ukraine include, among other things, ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles with a range of about 300 km.
CNN has also previously reported that the US is unlikely to supply Kyiv with long-range systems.
