(AP) The U.S. is poised to approve sending a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine, finally agreeing to an urgent request from Ukrainian leaders desperate for more robust weapons to shoot down incoming Russian missiles...
The approval is likely to come later this week and could be announced as early as Thursday, said three officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision is not final and has not been made public. Two of the officials said the Patriot will come from Pentagon stocks and be moved from another country overseas.
This is good news. Not only in terms of strategic defense of Ukraine but for all of Europe - a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine from the infrastructure bombing means more resulting migrant population crisis in Europe.
