Blinken To Meet Zelensky In Ukraine

US

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is set to travel to Ukraine tomorrow to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The hastily arranged trip comes after diplomatic talks with Russia have failed to diffuse tensions on the Ukrainian border.


  • Following the Ukraine trip, Blinken will travel to Berlin, to meet with German counterpart Annalena Baerbock, who herself was on the road today meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
  • Blinken will then attend a meeting with the Transatlantic Quad: US, France, Britain, and Germany.
  • Today a bipartisan group of US Senators were in Kiev meeting with Zelensky and Ukrainian officials to affirm US support for the country.
  • The increase in diplomatic activity suggest that the risk of war in Ukraine remains high and there have been no suggestions yet that Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to compromise on his demands for NATO withdrawal from the post-Soviet space.
