US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland has arrived in Kyiv for a working visit, marking her second trip to Ukraine amid the ongoing full-scale Russian invasion, as reported by Bridget Brink, the US Ambassador to Ukraine, on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"I congratulate US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland on her return to Ukraine," Brink wrote.
Вітаю з поверненням в Україну @UnderSecStateP Вікторію Нуланд. Сьогодні ми зустрінемось з вищим керівництвом країни, ветеранами та громадянським суспільством, щоб підкреслити нашу спільну відданість перемозі над російською агресією в Україні. pic.twitter.com/d3zqHziM6f

Nuland and the ambassador are set to hold a series of meetings with Ukraine's authorities and Special services representatives, military, veterans, and volunteers.
Nuland's last visit to the Ukrainian capital occurred in early December 2022. Back then she held discussions with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, and Head of the OP Andriy Yermak over two days.
She had also engaged with various ministers, officials, lawmakers and entrepreneurs, working on high-tech solutions for the Ukrainian army.
Nuland's current visit comes amid the ongoing challenge in the US Congress to approve President Joe Biden's request for $61 billion in new aid to Ukraine. Republican lawmakers have grown reluctant to continue supporting Kyiv, citing a lack of a clear end game as the conflict against President Vladimir Putin's forces continues.

It's good to see Nuland and all other allied leaders continue to make this journey of solidarity. It says a lot about their conviction to continue Ukrainian support as it fights the russian scourge.
My guess is a work around is being planned to keep the weapons flowing to Ukraine despite putin's MGRA scum trying to stop this back in the USA.
I suspect the EU's +$50 billion alone will keep weapons manufacturers and Ukrainian forces (and russian funeral directors) all quite productive this year.
Meanwhile the smart moral good folks in the USA will figure out how to evict the MRGA rats from their house before it leads to a full on plague. What are your thoughts troll “Jack"
