Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in his first public appearance since returning from Kyiv, will be questioned by members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this morning about the Biden administration's response to the war in Ukraine.
Why it matters: Blinken is expected to shed more light on the administration's plans to send American diplomats back to Ukraine this week, as well as President Biden's decision to nominate Bridget Brink, the current U.S. ambassador to Slovakia, to fill the ambassadorial post in Kyiv that’s been vacant since 2019, a senior State Department official tells Axios.
