It would be the second Patriot system that the U.S. has given to Ukraine, although the Pentagon has routinely provided an undisclosed number of missiles for the system. Other allies, including Germany, also have provided air defense systems as well as munitions for them.
The news agency added that the U.S. is wary of giving too many Patriot systems away, since they are used all over the world to protect U.S. forces and allies.
