Air defense remains priority in security assistance to Ukraine – Pentagon

Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said this at a briefing on Wednesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"One of Ukraine's priority defenses remains air defenses," Singh said.

She noted that the United States continued to supply Ukraine with air defense systems through presidential drawdown packages and the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).

Last week, the U.S. Department of Defense announced $988 million in security assistance to Ukraine as part of the USAI initiative.
