Earlier in the day, Blinken toured a U.S.-supported transshipment facility on the outskirts of Kyiv, praising the resilience of Ukraine's grain production in the face of Russian attacks.

Blinken is the first senior U.S. official to travel to Ukraine after U.S. Congress last month passed a $61 billion military aid package, following a delay of several months. He has stressed Washington's enduring support for Ukraine during the visit.
