US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is making an unannounced visit to Ukraine, according to what Agence France-Presse reported. The minister arrived in Kiev by train from Poland, from the city of Rzeszow in southeastern Poland, whose airport is now a major logistics hub, with defense supplies and humanitarian aid departing from here to Ukraine. Blinken is also scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Blinken arrived in the country just as weapons from the new US aid package began arriving on the front lines. Three weeks ago, the US Congress approved an aid package worth 61 billion euros for Ukraine. According to a senior American official, the weapons funded by the Americans will now include anti-aircraft missiles, artillery, and long-range precision-guided ATACMS missiles. BBC writes.
According to the politician, Blinken also went to Ukraine to reassure people in these difficult moments and to confirm American support for them. This includes discussions about the United States helping the country take the “military initiative.”
This is the fourth visit of the Foreign Minister to the besieged country.
