Secretary Blinken Lands in Kyiv amid Ukraine Missile Push

Ukraine want to use U.S.-provided weapons deeper inside Russia

Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday morning as Ukrainian leaders pressed for U.S. permission to use American-made long-range weapons against targets inside Russia.

America's top diplomat was accompanied by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy. The pair are scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and "senior Ukrainian government officials," according to a State Department statement.

Blinken will "discuss continued support for Ukraine's defense against Russia's aggression and how to ensure Ukraine can thrive militarily, economically and democratically in the long term," it added.
