 U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin arrived in Kiev on November 20, for a visit, he said on the ex-social media platform. I'm here today to deliver an important message, the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia's aggression, both now and into the future. The visit comes amid increasing division over Ukraine aid in the U.S. legislature. A joint Ukraine-U.S. military-industry conference in Washington is due to take place next month.
