The Biden administration’s top envoy for Ukraine recovery arrived in Kyiv on Monday to underscore the US’s continued commitment even as the flareup in violence between Israel and Hamas diverts attention away from Russia’s invasion.
Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, who was appointed in September, met President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other top officials, as well as representatives from the private sector and the American Chamber of Commerce, a senior State Department official said. One goal was to hear what Ukrainian officials need as the country heads into winter and take the pulse of the business community.
