US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kiev on a surprise diplomatic visit. This visit comes at a time when Russia has again started pushing into the Kharkiv province, as Ukraine is outgunned and outmanned. This is the first visit of any senior US official since Congress passed the much-awaited and much-delayed $61 billion aid package. This is his fourth visit to the country since Russia began its offensive in February 2022.
Blinken arrived in Ukraine today to meet senior Ukrainian officials as well as to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During his visit to Kiev, he will be discussing battlefield updates, the impact of new US security and economic assistance, long-term security commitments, and help in boosting Ukraine’s economic security.
He stated, “I returned to Kyiv to demonstrate our unwavering support for Ukraine as they defend their freedom against Russian aggression.” This visit also comes at a time when the US is preoccupied with Israel’s war with Gaza.
On Monday, the US spokesperson Jake Sullivan said that the delay of the aid package has dragged Ukraine into a hole and the US is helping to dig them out of it. He stated, “The delay put Ukraine in a hole, and we’re trying to help dig out as soon as possible.”
