US may up support for Ukraine over ‘reckless’ Russia
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday Washington could increase security assistance for Ukraine after what he called Russia’s “reckless and aggressive” actions in massing troops near its border.
During a visit to Kiev intended to show support for Ukraine, Mr Blinken said Russia had left behind significant numbers of troops and equipment despite announcing a withdrawal of its forces from close to the border after a standoff that alarmed the West.
