Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will visit Kyiv today.

"I don't think this is a secret that people from the US are coming to see us, State Secretary Mr. Blinken and the Defense Secretary (Lloyd Austin) ," Zelensky said at a press conference held in an underground subway station in the Ukrainian capital.

Zelensky also said, "We will be expecting, when the security will allow, the President of the United States to come and to talk to us." "I think he will," Zelensky said, adding that it was Biden's decision and would depend on the security situation.

Biden, who has previously suggested he wants to go to Ukraine, said earlier this month that he was working with his team to determine whether he should dispatch a senior member of his administration to the country.
