Blinken promises Ukraine help is "very much on the way" amid " brutal Russian onslaught" in northeast

Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced in Kyiv on Wednesday $2 billion in new financing for Ukraine to be used to facilitate the delivery of weapons and to fuel future investments in Ukraine's defense industrial base. 

The financing will come from the $60 billion in supplemental security funding that was recently passed by Congress, as well as $400 million in previously approved foreign military financing funds that have not yet been allocated, the State Department said.

Blinken, noting it was his fifth trip to Ukraine and fourth to Kyiv, vowed in a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba that the U.S. would support Ukraine until it achieved "strategic success," both by helping Ukraine's forces deliver on the battlefield and in positioning Ukrainians to be able to determine their own future.
