The Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, made a surprise visit to kyiv this morning to meet with President Zelensky and the military high command. During his meeting, Blinken discussed several key issues related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
One of the main topics of discussion was the recent renewed offensive in Khrkiv, which has led to an increase in Russian attacks on Ukrainian territory. Blinken reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in defending itself against these escalating attacks.
Another topic under discussion was the political changes within the Kremlin leadership, specifically the recent appointment of economist Belusov as Defense Minister. This change signals Russia’s strategy to prolong the war and revive its arms industry as part of Putin’s efforts to achieve a victory in the conflict.
Blinken also discussed Russian preparations for a long war, which have led to increased tension between Russia and Ukraine. In response, Ukraine is seeking Blinken’s approval to attack Russian territory with weapons provided by Washington. This strategic move would prevent Russia from supplying logistics to its troops without fear of being attacked on the other side of the border, giving Ukraine a significant advantage.
Blinken’s visit also marks his fourth trip to kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. During his time in kyiv, he will meet with members of Ukrainian civil society to send a message of reassurance and convey Washington’s continued support for Ukraine’s defense and security in the long term. The expedited delivery of weapons, including modern and higher-range ones, aims to help kyiv defend itself against new Russian threats such as gliding bombs launched from Russian territory.
