KIEV: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday demanded that Russia end its aggressive actions towards Ukraine, warning on a solidarity visit to Kiev that the giant neighbour has yet to withdraw most forces from a recent buildup.
The top US diplomat met Ukraine’s leadership and toured a somber memorial with photographs of some of the more than 13,000 people who have died fighting pro-Russian separatists since 2014, when Moscow seized the Crimean peninsula from Kiev. We stand strongly with you, Blinken told a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
