Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksii Reznikov in Warsaw, Poland, on the margins of President Biden’s trip to Europe.  The Secretaries and Ministers discussed outcomes of the March 24 extraordinary NATO Summit in Brussels, and the United States’ unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of the Russian Federation’s increasingly brutal assault on Ukrainian cities and civilian population.  Both Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin pledged continued support to meet Ukraine’s humanitarian, security, and economic needs as President Putin’s full-scale invasion enters its second month.
