This was stated by Pentagon Lloyd Austin as a meeting in Ramstein.

And that is why we emphasize that we have to do everything on us to get Ukraine as much equipment as possible" , - he said. Austin also noted that the Western countries are trying to provide Ukraine with maximum assistance and have already put many weapons for protection, though they understand that this is not enough.

In addition, the head of the US Defense Ministry noted that the Ukrainian air defense forces show "a very good result of the killing of Russian missiles.
