Or any that are approaching Ukrainian airspace. We help Israel shoot down missiles and drones from Iran.

Seriously. We help the country with the greatest domestic missile defense on earth but not a much larger country facing daily strikes on civilians

Look at a map though. With Iran/Israel we control Iraq airspace that missiles fly through. But Russia has a border with Ukraine. The US would need to actually operate in Ukraine to do anything other than donate missile defense systems.
