US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is in Kyiv for discussions with Ukraine’s leadership, where he will reaffirm support for the country as it faces Russia’s ongoing invasion.
This marks Austin’s fourth, and likely final, visit to Ukraine as head of the Pentagon.
The visit comes just two weeks ahead of the US presidential elections.
During his visit, discussions are expected to focus on US efforts to help Kyiv strengthen its defense, as Moscow’s forces continue to advance in the east.
