U.S. to send another Patriot system to Ukraine - media

That's according to AP, Ukrinform reports.

"The United States will send Ukraine another Patriot missile system, two U.S. officials said Tuesday, answering Kyiv's desperate calls for more air defenses as it battles an intense Russian assault on the northeastern Kharkiv region," the report said.

The officials said President Joe Biden has approved the move. It would be the second Patriot system that the U.S. has given to Ukraine, although the Pentagon has routinely provided an undisclosed number of missiles for the system. Other allies, including Germany, also have provided air defense systems as well as munitions for them.

The news agency added that the U.S. is wary of giving too many Patriot systems away, since they are used all over the world to protect U.S. forces and allies.
