Austin is scheduled to have meetings with Ukrainian leaders where he delivered an important message – the United States would continue its security support for Ukraine.
This has been Austin’s second trip to Kyiv since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out last February.
Over the past time, the US has given billions of USD in security support for Ukraine and has repeatedly committed to its continuous support for Kiev whenever necessary.
