The United States Department of Defense (USA) continues to consult with several partners to strengthen Ukraine's air defense system to counter the Russian invasion.
CNN reported this.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby described Washington's "active consultations" with allies.
Their goal is to help Ukraine with air defense systems.
"The United States is in constant talks with other countries to provide Ukraine with types of means of protection, including long-range air defense, which, as far as we know, is convenient for them to use," said a spokesperson for the Defense Ministry.
