US defence secretary Lloyd Austin visited Ukraine on Tuesday, underlining Washington’s support for the country’s sovereignty amid tensions with Russia.
It’s part of a trip that includes a visit to Georgia on Monday and Romania on Wednesday ahead of a NATO meeting in Brussels.
“We again call on Russia to end its occupation of Crimea, to stop perpetuating the war in Eastern Ukraine, to end its destabilising activities in the Black Sea and along Ukraine borders, and to hold its persistent cyberattacks and other malign activities against the US and its allies and partners,” Austin said.
