Blinken makes unannounced Kyiv visit to review Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia
Fox News
Secretary of State Antony Blinken flew to Ukraine Wednesday for an unannounced trip to check on the country's progress in its counteroffensive against Russian troops.
The senior U.S. diplomat aims to get a view on how Ukraine’s counteroffensive operation, which Kyiv’s troops launched in June, is progressing and what kind of support is required in the current phase of the battle.
Blinken’s visit comes after some of Ukraine’s allies have privately expressed concern that Ukrainian troops have struggled to break through dense Russian defense lines while winter looms, and they may come up short and fail to reach their objectives.
