Earlier, American media reported that the White House may announce the delivery of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine by the end of this week.

"The meeting will take place within the framework of the discussion of the delivery of the USA to Kyiv. "Kyiv has been asking for Patriot air defense systems for several months," writes dw.com.

Washington decided to comply with the request, despite the huge logistical problems associated with the delivery and use of the complexes, in light of the massive Russian fire.
