The US Department of State said in a statement on Tuesday that Blinken would travel to the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Poland this week.
While in London, Blinken will meet with senior government officials to discuss a range of critical issues, including collective efforts to support Ukraine, the statement said.
On Wednesday, Blinken will travel to Ukraine with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, where they will meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky and senior Ukrainian government officials to discuss continued support for Kyiv’s defence against Moscow’s invasion "and how to ensure Ukraine can thrive militarily, economically, and democratically in the long term," according to the statement.
On Thursday, Blinken "will travel to Poland, where he will meet with senior Polish government officials to discuss a range of important bilateral issues, including deepening our defense and energy cooperation, and our work as NATO Allies to support Ukraine’s defense," the US Department of State said.
Russia invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on February 24, 2022, starting the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II.
Tuesday is day 930 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
