Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made another trip to Ukraine, appearing in Kiev alongside Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, and the US top diplomat vowed that some of the US aid from Biden’s recently approved $60 billion for Ukraine is “now on the way”.
But Zelensky immediately pivoted to begging for Patriot missiles amid Russia’s new Karkhiv assault, saying that “of course we are very thankful for this to Americans, to American people” but that “We need, really we need today two Patriots for Kharkiv, for Kharkiv region because people there are under attack, civilians and warriors, everybody there is under Russian missiles.” As we noted earlier of this perhaps awkward moment…
