00:00This is the latest result of Russian shelling in the Kherson region.
00:04Dozens of buildings hit, including homes, a shopping center, and a museum.
00:10Moscow has also been targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, hoping to deprive people of
00:14heat and power during the coming winter, a threat President Biden referenced when he
00:19signed a new security pact with the Ukrainian President Zelensky at the G7 in Italy last
00:24week, suggesting more air defenses for Ukraine might be coming.
00:29This Thursday, his national security spokesman confirmed as much, saying shipments meant
00:34for other countries would be redirected to Kiev.
00:37We have continued to dig deep and provide Ukraine with a variety of air defense systems
00:44and interceptor missiles from our own stockpiles, including those of the Patriot system, NASAMs,
00:50and of course the HAWKs.
00:54While Ukraine has used drones to strike Russian oil facilities, it remains vulnerable at home.
01:00President Zelensky says his country's greatest need remains interceptor missiles, and he
01:04welcomed the news that another NATO member, Romania, was also sending Patriot missiles
01:09to his armed forces.
01:13We are now capable of defeating Russia's imperial ambitions, and this will bring peace and confidence
01:18back to all of Europe.
01:20We are now working with our partners to secure the delivery of several more Patriot missiles.
01:29The White House didn't specify an exact number, but said the shipments would involve hundreds
01:33of Patriot interceptor missiles to be delivered in the coming months.
