Journalists also asked whether the head of the White House is ready to send American troops to help Israel.
We have already helped Israel, we are going to defend Israel, the American leader emphasized.
The US is not going to protect Ukraine the way Israel does
The American authorities categorically rejected the new proposal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
As you know, on October 3, the latter asked NATO to help Ukraine shoot down Russian missiles.
The Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense, Sabrina Singh, said that the Alliance will not intercept missiles and drones over Ukraine as it does over Israel.
We are talking about two very different landscapes and battlefields. At the very beginning, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the president instructed this department to provide Ukraine with what it needs on the battlefield, the spokeswoman said.
Despite this, the Pentagon once again emphasized that they are going to help Ukraine as much as necessary.
