Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US is accelerating arms supplies to Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s military confronts a Russian assault on the nation’s northeast.
Kremlin troops are attempting to push deeper into the Kharkiv region, taking control of some villages close to the border, after weeks of intensified air strikes against Ukraine’s second-biggest city. The offensive is stretching Ukraine’s forces and may push Kyiv to redeploy units from the long front line in the east.
