WASHINGTON - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday called for additional air defense systems to be sent to Kyiv to help protect against Russian strikes, adding that a pause in US funding had helped Moscow seize the initiative.Zelenskiy's comments come just days after Congress emerged from a half-year of deadlock to approve a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine.
"We're going to ask to accept a little bit more risk so that we can do what's necessary in Ukraine," Austin told reporters.Austin said the Patriot missile defense system itself would not be a "silver bullet" for Kyiv, but rather integrating it with other missile defense systems.
