According to him, new help packages are another issue that is not solved by him.
“The White House should decide to turn to Congress for new assistance. But what is already approved by Congress is supplied,” Rubio said, noting that not all the requests of Ukrainians can be implemented.
According to the State Secretary, it is about Patriot systems, “which, if honest we do not have.”
“But we work closely with our allies who have a certain number of batteries that they could provide or transfer to the temporary use of Ukrainians for protection, such as Kiev airspace or other places. And we encourage them in this regard,” Rubio said.
“None of these countries wants to abandon these systems, and we cannot produce them quickly,” he said.
He repeated the thesis that there is no military solution to war and everything should be resolved at the negotiation table.
“The fundamental challenge here is the following. Russia wants what she is not right now and what she does not belong. And Ukraine wants what she cannot get again,” he said.
Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested that Ukraine will receive the necessary number of air defense systems as a result of the Minerals Agreement with the United States.
The Ukrainian side has repeatedly appealed to the United States to provide it with aircraft system, and the Trump administration proposed to buy installations with the help of European countries.
