Washington’s allies are currently showing no willingness to provide the US with direct military aid in the conflict with Iran, Politico reported, citing diplomatic sources. The article noted that "traditional US partners are wary of any direct support until they receive reassurances of a lasting ceasefire – or other promises" from Washington. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian official told Politico that Kiev is ready to provide Washington and its allies in the Middle East with technology to counter drones, "especially if Kiev gets weapons in return." The US and Israel began a war with Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
