Blinken and UK's Lammy to visit Ukraine this week

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken and United Kingdom Foreign Secretary David Lammy intend to visit Ukraine later this week, the officials announced on Tuesday during a joint press conference in London, Azernews reports.

"This joint trip reflects strong transatlantic support, aligned also with our NATO allies, with our Indo-Pacific partners, with more than 50 countries that continue to strongly and resolutely support Ukraine," Blinken stated.

The trip comes as a senior Iranian official denied reports that Tehran had supplied Russia with ballistic missiles, information a European Union spokesperson described as "credible".

CNN and the Wall Street Journal reported last week, citing unidentified sources, that Iran had transferred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, as Moscow continues to wage war in Ukraine more than two and a half years after its 2022 invasion.
