Blinken holds phone call with Kuleba
That's according to the press service of the State Department, Ukrinform reports.
"They discussed the latest battlefield developments and the third meeting of nations in Valletta, Malta, to build global consensus on a principled and durable peace in Ukraine," the State Department said.
Blinken reaffirmed the United States' commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to continuing to provide Ukraine the support it needs to defend its independence and protect its people.
Blinken earlier held his first in-person meeting with the new Republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson, during which they discussed the need to continue supporting Ukraine and Israel and other important issues.
