Secretary of State Antony Blinken departs for the U.K. and Ukraine on Sunday as part of an effort to keep U.S. allies united against China and show support for a crucial ally in the face of Russian aggression.
While the London visit kicks off the five-day trip and will help lay the groundwork for President Joe Biden’s meeting with G-7 leaders in June, Blinken’s travel to Kyiv comes at another delicate time for Ukraine and its supporters in the West.
