The US secretary of state was expected to announce more than one billion dollars in new American funding.
At least 16 people have been killed and dozens more wounded when Russian shelling struck a market in a city in eastern Ukraine, officials said.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said at least 16 people were killed. At least 28 were wounded, according to internal minister Ihor Klymenko. Other issues, including support for Ukraine’s war-torn economy were to be discussed, building on Mr Blinken’s announcement in London in June of 1.3 billion dollars in aid to help Kyiv rebuild, with a focus on modernising its energy network, which was bombarded by Russia last winter.
Mr Blinken arrived in Kyiv for an overnight visit hours after Russia launched a missile attack on the city. He was expected to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky and other top officials to discuss the ongoing counter-offensive and reconstruction efforts.
