The Biden administration plans to send a Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine to aid its fight against Russia, administration officials told CNN.
The Pentagon's plan still needs to be approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before it is sent to President Joe Biden for his signature. The three officials told CNN that approval is expected.
Ukraine has been asking for the system for months but the logistical challenges of delivering it and operating it are immense. Despite those obstacles, "the reality of what is going on the ground" led the administration to make the decision, the senior administration official told CNN, noting the continuing intense Russian missile barrages.
In recent years, the US has sent Patriot missiles to Saudi Arabia and Iraq to counter threats posed by Iran and its proxies and to the Pacific region to deter North Korea.
