United States will not deploy THAAD in Ukraine to help defend itself from Russian attacks unlike Israel, because the Ukraine-Russia war and war in Middle East is different, said Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh during a Press Briefing, APA reports.
She said that commitments to Israel and Ukraine are different: "Different capabilities, different wars, different regions. The commitments also to Israel and Ukraine are different. We have a long-standing partnership to come to Israel's self-defense. You've seen the president commit that from October 7. And when Ukraine was attacked over two years ago, the president made a commitment to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
But again, you're talking about different capabilities being moved and what's needed for — should Iran attack again, is a THAAD. For engagements from what Russia is doing in Ukraine, different capabilities such as, as you know, I don't need to go through the long list. But not to use this expression, but it is a little bit of apples and oranges here.
So, I don't want to go down the whole list of everything that we're providing Ukraine to everything that we're providing to Israel. But what I can tell you is this administration, this department continues to support both in the different needs that they need."
