Blinken Arrives in Poland to Gauge Additional U.S. Aid for Ukraine
The New York Times
The Russian invasion has pushed more than one million refugees to flee Ukraine for neighboring nations.
KORCZOWA, Poland — With a line of refugees streaming into Poland behind them, the top American and Ukrainian diplomats met at Ukraine’s border on Saturday in a brief but extraordinary encounter to assess what additional support and protection the United States might deliver to address Russia’s invasion, which appeared certain to continue.
The Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, thanked U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken for “coming here to Ukraine, literally.” The two men stood at the border where, over the course of one hour, hundreds of refugees had crossed into Poland by foot in bone-chilling temperatures.
For Mr. Blinken, the brief meeting was a chance to take stock of the humanitarian disaster — Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II — caused by the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, in his invasion of Ukraine.
