The United States shoots down missiles and drones over Israel but does not do so over Ukraine because of different “threat patterns”. This was stated by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, according to Komersant ukrainskyi
“We’re talking about different conflicts, different airspace, different threat patterns,” he said,
– he said when asked why the US does not shoot down Russian missiles in the same way as Iranian ones.
He also recalled that from the very beginning, the United States was unequivocal that it would not take part in hostilities in Ukraine.
Instead, he recalled that the Biden administration has been providing Ukraine with weapons. However, this has also been happening for quite some time, as Congress has not passed the necessary bill to help Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, we cannot do this now, as we do not have the additional national security funding that Ukrainians need so much,” he said,
– the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson has introduced separate bills to help Israel and Ukraine.
“Festival of Security Agreements”
Against the backdrop of disappointing news from the United States, the “Festival of Security Agreements with Ukraine” is gaining momentum, with Western countries guaranteeing our security under bilateral agreements such as the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine has already signed such agreements with the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands and Finland. Under these agreements, these states pledge to support Ukraine in the face of the Russian threat with finance, weapons and humanitarian aid.
The United States and Poland may be among the next signatories, as it is known that the government is negotiating with these countries.
For example, the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Bridget Brink, said that two rounds of talks between Ukraine and the US have already taken place on the content and content of the relevant agreement with the US government.
Ukraine is desperately trying to gain the support of the world. In particular, the following 5 points of the Ukrainian Formula for Peace were presented at this year’s Davos Economic Forum.
