Jake Sullivan says new Ukraine aid package will include air defense systems

The U.S. will send medium- and long-range air missile defense systems to Ukraine in the next aid package, which could be announced as soon as this week, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday.

Mr. Sullivan said President Biden, who is in Germany for a summit with Group of Seven leaders, has already made the pledge to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“I can confirm that we are in fact, in the process of finalizing a package that includes advanced air defense capabilities,” Mr. Sullivan told reporters in Europe.
