According to Whitaker, Ukraine has become a "testing ground for the future," as the war is driving rapid development of military innovations. He emphasized that Ukrainian developments could be useful for strengthening the defense capabilities of the United States.
Innovations are happening very quickly, and I am ensuring that the U.S. can not only cooperate and receive these technologies so that they are at our disposal if and when we need them, but also look for ways to create some of these systems and technologies to assist the American military. Especially in the area of countering drones. This is an area where I think we want to become stronger. I believe we have excellent technologies of our own, but obviously, because hostilities are ongoing, development is happening very quickly, and Ukraine can help us in several areas that are critical for protecting our troops and the most powerful army in the world, the United States
Separately, the American diplomat emphasized that Ukraine needs additional air defense systems and missiles for them.
According to him, the United States is working to help Kyiv conclude agreements with a number of Washington's allies who have the necessary weapons to strengthen Ukrainian air defense.
