Blinken meets Zelenskyy in unannounced visit to Ukraine I DW News

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, today. His unannounced visit to Ukraine's capital is aimed at emphasizing America's ongoing support for Ukraine as it struggles to defend against increasingly intense Russian attacks. Blinken will meet with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and senior officials. His visit comes less than a month after Congress approved a long-delayed military aid package for Ukraine worth $60 billion dollars US.
