Blinken Pledges US Support
For Ukraine.
Secretary
of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday the United States knows the urgency of
the situation in Ukraine, and that Ukrainian forces will be getting the support
they need.
During
a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv, Blinken said
the Biden administration is working to deliver as quickly as possible a new
round of aid authorized in late April.
Kuleba
said his country sees the U.S. stands by Ukraine, and that Ukraine “will be
able to endure any hardships that Russia will try to impose on them.
Russia
on Wednesday said its forces seized two more settlements in the Kharkiv region,
where Russian forces have been intensifying their offensive.
The
Russian push in northeastern Ukraine prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s
office to announce Wednesday the cancelation of all of his upcoming foreign
visits.
