Answering the question, “If the US can help shoot down Iranian drones over Israel, why can’t they do the same over Ukraine?” the White House strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said that “it is different.”

“Yeah, I knew this question was coming too.  Look, different conflicts.  Different conflicts, different airspace, different threat picture.  And the President has been clear since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States is not going to be involved in that — that conflict in a combat role.  And we haven’t. 

We have been providing Ukraine the tools that they need to help defend their airspace.  And, unfortunately, we can’t do that right now because we don’t have that national security supplemental funding that — that they so desperately need,” Kirby said.
