KYIV, Ukraine — In the wave of Iranian drones and missiles that were shot down before reaching their targets over the weekend, another ally sees the possibilities, and limits, of Western support. The United States and its partners helped Israel, so why — Ukraine is asking — won’t they help protect us from Russian attacks? It 'looks extremely strange,' Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak told NBC News in an interview on Tuesday.
” When asked why British forces could not shoot down Russian unmanned drones just as they had to support Israel, he said it was an “interesting question,” adding that Ukraine must be armed with air defense systems which are more effective than jets. President Joe Biden has also made it clear that the U.S. will not take on a combat role in Ukraine, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Monday.
