Blinken in Kyiv: Surprise visit as Russia increases attacks
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Kyiv, on an unannounced visit.
It’s the first visit to Ukraine by a senior US official since Congress passed a 61-billion-dollar aid package in April, to aid Ukraine’s war effort.
Blinken’s visit is seen as a show of support for the country, as it faces intensifying attacks from Russia in the Kharkiv region.
Al Jazeera’s John Holman has the latest in Kyiv.
