White House does not confirm delivery of Iron Dome air defense system
KYIV. Sept 16 (Interfax-Ukraine) – U.S. President’s spokesperson Jen Psaki did not confirm the delivery of the Iron Dome air and missile defense system to Ukraine during a briefing on Wednesday.
According to Psaki, she needs to clarify the information about the transfer of the Iron Dome system to Ukraine with her team.
Earlier, Politico reported that some members of Congress had included an amendment to the draft defense budget for 2022 that would put pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration to sell or hand over new air and missile defense systems to Ukraine, including a potential Iron Dome battery shipment, which is currently used by the U.S. Army.
It is reported that the version of the defense bill for the 2022 fiscal year of the committee of the U.S. House of Representatives does not specify any specific weapons system that they plan to transfer to Ukraine.
