Amid concerns that spiraling energy costs and Ukraine slowing down on the battlefield in winter could undermine Western resolve, the United States and its NATO allies on Wednesday reaffirmed their support for bolstering Ukraine’s defenses in the face of intensifying Russian aggression.
Ukraine said that Germany had delivered the first of four ultramodern air defense systems — so new that they have never been used on the battlefield — as Russia’s attacks spurred a renewed effort from Ukraine’s international allies.
The Netherlands also promised millions of dollars in air-defense missiles, a day after the White House said it was working to speed up the delivery of two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, known as NASAMs that the United States uses to help defend the White House and the Capitol.
