The US State Department has published details of Antony Blinken's visit to Ukraine.

UNN reports referring to a statement by the State Department.

"The Secretary of State will travel to Kyiv, Ukraine, on May 5-6, to meet with President Zelenskyi, Foreign Minister Kuleba, and other officials and representatives of Ukrainian civil society to reaffirm US unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of ongoing Russian aggression," the statement reads.

As reported, Blinken will also "encourage further progress on Ukraine's institutional reform agenda, especially in the fight against corruption, which is key to ensuring Ukraine's democratic institutions, economic prosperity, and a Euro-Atlantic future."

As reported by Rubryka, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview that he would leave for Ukraine next week.

Earlier, CNN reported that Blinken's visit to Kyiv should demonstrate to US allies in NATO that Washington doesn't intend to abandon a tough course on Moscow at a meeting of leaders of the two countries scheduled for the summer.
