Blinken arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday in a gesture of support as Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russian forces grinds into its fourth month with only small gains.
“We have heard repeated statements that they (the Americans) intend to continue to help Kyiv for as long as it takes,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
