[Russian Presidential Aide: US Likely Not to Immediately Grant Ukraine's Request for Additional Military Aid] Russian Presidential Aide Ushakov stated on the 28th that the United States is unlikely to immediately grant Ukraine's request for additional air defense systems and missiles. On the 27th, Ukrainian sources reported that President Zelensky had written to US President Trump and the US Congress seeking support regarding Ukraine's insufficient air defense capabilities. Ushakov stated that whether the US would "immediately satisfy" Zelensky's request for weapons assistance was "still questionable," adding that "Zelensky has likely written to Washington multiple times before." According to Russian sources, the US State Department issued a statement on the 21st announcing its approval for the sale of $108.1 million worth of equipment to Ukraine to support the operation of the Hawk air defense missile system.
