US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kiev on a visit, during which he expects to discuss issues of providing military assistance to Ukraine from Washington, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

According to the report, Blinken "hopes to send a strong signal of reassurance to the Ukrainians who are obviously in a very difficult moment," said a US official who briefed reporters traveling with Blinken on condition of anonymity.
