US secretary of state arrives as Ukraine wages counteroffensive and Zelenskiy reports ‘good news’
The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has made an unannounced trip to Kyiv, promising a major $2bn package of military aid for Ukraine as well as neighbouring countries “most potentially at risk for future Russian aggression”.
The package would “bolster the security of Ukraine and 18 of its neighbours, including … many of our Nato allies as well as other regional security partners”, a state department official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
