US Secretary of State to Hold Talks in Ukraine About Russian Aggression

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken leaves for Europe on Sunday, where he will hold meetings in London and Kyiv.

Blinken’s first stop will be London, where he will meet with the foreign secretaries from the Group of Seven countries. Later in the week, he will travel to Kyiv to show U.S. support for Ukraine’s government as it faces threats to its sovereignty from Russia. The meetings in London with the G-7 ministers are in preparation for the meeting of the G-7 leaders in June in Cornwall. The ministers are also expected to discuss their handling of challenges they are all facing, including the coronavirus outbreak and climate change.
