US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said Washington's immediate priority is to provide Ukraine with enough air defense to get through another winter. He said this could come from additional missiles supplied by allies or increased production at US factories. Whitaker confirmed that talks continue on licensing Patriot missile production in Ukraine, but said the project is long-term and will not strengthen defenses this winter.
