Washington: A source familiar with the issue said on Wednesday that senior US officials are debating whether to send a Cabinet-level official to Ukraine as a show of support.

According to the source, either US Secretary of State Antony Blinken or US Defense Secretary Austin Lloyd might make a surprise visit to Kyiv.

According to a source, President Joe Biden will not be making the trip.

According to the source, no decision has been taken on the dispatch of an official. Politico was the first outlet to report on the negotiations.

Several other Western officials, like British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU President Ursula von der Leyen, have accompanied Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on visits to the country since Russia invaded the country in February.

Russia is set to launch an attack in Ukraine’s eastern and southern regions, and Western nations are providing additional military supplies to help Ukraine stave it off.
