Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said that NATO’s participation in the shooting down of russian missiles and drones in the airspace of Ukraine will be “involving” the US in a war.

Singh was asked to comment on the words of President Zelenskyi, who called on allies to help close Ukraine’s airspace, just as the US helped Israel repel missiles from Iran.

“We are talking about two very different landscapes and battlefields. The president at the very beginning when russia invaded Ukraine directed this department to provide Ukraine with what it needs on the battlefield. They have been very successful in employing whether it be air defenses or other capabilities to continue to take back their territory. The secretary just had a call with Mr Umerov [Ukraine’s defense minister – UT] getting that field update, getting to better understand what other capabilities they might need if any,” Singh said.

“Right now we feel that Ukraine has been able to successfully fully defend against russian strikes to their cities, to their population, to their infrastructure. And we’re going to continue to make sure that they have the support that they need,” Singh added.
