The Pentagon’s chief spokesman acknowledged Thursday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine “could be imminent,” but bristled at the suggestion that US military aid was taking too long to arrive in the Eastern European nation. During his regular briefing, Defense Department press secretary John Kirby was asked by Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin why the US was not filling Ukraine’s request for “what they’ve really asked for, which is air defense systems, anti-aircraft missiles, the kind of thing that could take on the Russian air force, not just tanks and ammunition on the ground.”Kirby responded by noting that the US has sent three shipments of military aid to Ukraine so far and added that “there are more coming.”
