U.S. Prioritizes Ukraine for Air Defense Missile Deliveries

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. will expedite the delivery of air defense interceptor missiles to Ukraine by redirecting planned shipments to other allied nations, in response to increased Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. National security spokesman John Kirby stated that this decision, though difficult, is necessary to meet Ukraine's urgent needs. The move will delay missile system deliveries to other countries, but not to Taiwan.
