US will decide carefully when to reopen Kyiv embassy - Blinken

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin took a train from Poland to Kyiv where they met Ukrainian President Zelensky, Qazet.az reports.

He says the American delegation saw people struggling on the streets of Kyiv. During the visit on Sunday, which was the highest-level to Ukraine by American officials since the Russian invasion, the US announced more than $700m in additional military aid to Ukraine.

The State Department also said that US diplomats would start returning to Ukraine this week. Blinken says the US will decide deliberately and carefully when to reopen the embassy in Kyiv.
