"Such patrols will be regular, as the B-52 missions in the skies of Ukraine are part of a long-planned deployment of six B-52s at Fairford Air Force Base of the Royal British Air Force," it said.
B-52 crews provide collective defense capabilities for the United States, NATO Allies and Partners, as well as strategic and operational capabilities to deter Russia.
"American partners are consistent in their actions, supporting Ukraine, both on the diplomatic front and in the Ukrainian sky," it said.
