As the leader of the "country aid to Ukraine", the United States has been doing its best to aid Ukraine. It can be said that as long as Zelensky speaks, no matter what the US plan in the end, it will always give it some, and sometimes it will also bring other countries to provide assistance. The problem of air defense has always been a headache for the Ukrainian authorities. Even though Ukraine has received many sets of NASAMS air defense missiles and German cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, it is still useless in the face of Russian bombing and strikes. In response, the Kiev authorities have set their sights on the US "Patriot" missile defense system . During this period, the Kiev authorities have repeatedly begged the US government to assist the "Patriot" missile defense system.
Recently, a US official revealed that the Biden administration is planning to provide Ukraine with a "Patriot" missile defense system. Although the proposal is still being finalized, the chance of approval is still very high. I don't know how many sets the United States will provide to Ukraine this time. The official then added that if the U.S. Congress approved the plan, the Patriot missile defense system will appear in Ukraine soon. At the same time, in order to prevent no one from using it in Ukraine, the U.S. government plans to concentrate a group of Ukrainian soldiers to US military bases in Germany for unified training.
It is worth noting that over the past period of time, the Russian army's bombing has shown no sign of weakening. In the Odessa area, even Zelensky, who has always reported good news but not bad news, has to admit that the situation in the Odessa area is already very difficult. Currently, more than 1.5 million residents are in a state of power outage, and only the main facilities currently have electricity. The Ukrainian Energy Company later claimed that based on the current maintenance capacity and energy damage, it is expected to recover for about several months. In response, the company called on people with conditions to leave Odessa as soon as possible. Some time ago, the Kiev authorities even issued a doctrine on Kelsong and the departure of Kiev people. Obviously, under the frequent bombing of the Russian army, Ukraine has been unable to withstand it. At this time, it naturally requires sufficient air defense weapons to alleviate the Russian army's attack pressure.
Zelensky also recently spoke out in the video, requiring NATO to increase assistance to Ukraine, and to provide Ukraine with more modern and technological weapons to a greater extent in terms of weapon assistance, such as air defense system , main battle tanks, artillery , and a larger number of multi-barrel rocket launchers and long-range precision missiles. Faced with the current situation in Kranch, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba also recently stated that Russia's large-scale bombing has pushed the entire Ukraine to the "front war zone", and both civilians and Ukrainian soldiers have been directly harmed by the war. Then, Kureba took advantage of the topic and asked the US to provide more air defense weapons to ensure the energy facilities in Ukraine.
This is also the main reason why the Kiev authorities have repeatedly begged the US government to assist the "Patriot" missile defense system. It has to be said that the "Patriot" missile defense system is indeed good at intercepting various missiles, . But correspondingly, the logistics support and maintenance costs of the "Patriot" missile defense system. It is known that a large part of the current attack methods of Russia are achieved through suicide drones. This kind of drone is cheap, and it is very difficult to hit compared to those ballistic missiles and cruise missiles . Even if the Russian military uses all ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, etc. to launch a strike, does Ukraine have so much inventory to deal with it? The US side still needs to use it, so naturally it will not provide much assistance. To put it bluntly, the US authorities will even provide some defective products to Ukraine. The interception accuracy of defective products will inevitably decrease significantly. Such things have been common before.
After all, as long as the US authorities do not provide dozens of sets of aid at one time, it will not be able to improve the current situation in Ukraine. The US aid is more to show the Russian side. A few days ago, the UK side, in line with Russia's warning, provided assistance to the Ukrainian army with a batch of more powerful high-tech weapons under the instructions of the US authorities. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces also said that it had received the "Sulphurite-2" laser-guided high-precision missile from the British side. You should know that long-range missile will pose a threat to Russia to a certain extent, which will also lead to further escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war. But it turns out that Britain, the United States and other countries want to escalate the war.
Recently, the United States also stated that it would no longer ban Ukraine from attacking Russia. Subsequently, Ukraine launched an attack on Melitopol City, Zaporoze Prefecture and the Crimea region. It is precisely because of the continuous attacks of Ukraine that in recent times, a large number of residents in the Crimea region have begun to evacuate. This is obviously supported by Western countries, otherwise the current situation of the Ukrainian army would not be able to do it. While proposing a peaceful settlement between Russia and Ukraine, it also prompts the secret of causing trouble to continue to escalate the war. This "open and secretly" approach will also make the war between Russia and Ukraine continue.
