US diplomats will return to Ukraine, Blinken and Austin promise additional security

The US pledged more military help for Ukraine and guaranteed that its ambassadors will return to Kyiv in the coming week.

The news came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the highest-ranking American delegation visited Kyiv since Russia's invasion in late February.

"In terms of Russia’s war aims, Russia has already failed and Ukraine has already succeeded," Blinken told a briefing in Poland after the two officials returned from the meeting, Reuters reported.

During meetings, Blinken and Austin assured Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that the US would offer more than $300 million in military funding and had authorized a $165 million ammunition sale.
