KYIV, Ukraine — Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced trip to Kyiv on Thursday, where he announced almost $3 billion worth of financial aid and weapons to help Ukraine and its neighbors during the Russia invasion.
"Ukraine's extraordinary front-line defenders continue to courageously fight for their country's freedom," Blinken said in a statement Thursday afternoon announcing the new tranche of funding. "And President Biden has been clear we will support the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes."
