The United States will soon send a second battery of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system to Ukraine
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.
President Joe Biden has approved the move.
It would be the second Patriot system that the U.S. has given to Ukraine.
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 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.
