On Saturday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba the return of US diplomats to Ukraine, in addition to providing $33 billion worth of aid to the country.

"Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba to follow up on their April 24 meeting in Kiev," US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said in a state department readout.

"The Secretary emphasized the United States' robust support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's brutal aggression," the readout said.

"The Secretary provided an update on plans for US diplomats to return to Ukraine, including initial visits to Lviv this week and plans to return to Kiev as soon as possible. The Secretary and Foreign Minister discussed the Administration's April 28 request to Congress for $33 billion in security, economic, and humanitarian aid to empower Ukraine to defeat the Kremlin's unconscionable war," the statement added.
