Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Ukraine to send a message of progress and peril.
September 8, 2023, 3:46 PMUkraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy greets Secretary of State Antony Blinken before a meeting at Bankova in Kyiv, Ukraine, Sept. 6, 2023.Secretary of State Antony Blinken's fourth visit to Ukraine since the war began was designed to convey unwavering American support for the invaded nation -- but that message was at times overshadowed by devastating human costs of the war and the ever-present danger that Western aid may not be enough.
Of course, sitting down at the chain's location in Kyiv was about more that grabbing a quick bite. It was an illustration of how despite a year and a half of war, life in Ukraine presses on in small but significant ways, and it related to the world what Kuleba described as a symbol of the Western confidence in his homeland.
"But the main difference between what [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and the Biden administration is doing is that the U.S. is constrained by facts," he continued.In their assessments of Ukraine's ongoing counteroffensive, American officials have largely stayed away from firm facts and figures, urging the public to consider Ukraine's broader war efforts over any individual push.
The situation on the battlefield is dynamic -- but two months into the latest campaign, data shows Ukrainian territorial gains have flatlined. Whether any momentum might be halted by wintery conditions on the horizon or other variables remains to be seen.
