  • US Power: The US Congress has granted the power to seize Russian assets within the country, and this authority will be exercised.
  • NATO Affiliation: Blinken reaffirmed the US commitment to bringing Ukraine closer to NATO, strengthening their bridge to the alliance.
  • Assistance: Military aid is now on its way to Ukraine, providing crucial support in countering the ongoing Russian offensive.

Blinken’s visit underscores the critical moment Ukraine faces, with Russian forces advancing near Kharkiv. He assured Ukrainians that they were not alone and praised their resilience and leadership during these challenging times.
