Blinken emphasized the importance of the visit to Ukraine at this critical moment.

'I believe this is a critical moment for Ukraine in the midst of an intense autumn fighting season, as Russia continues to escalate its aggression,' he noted.

The U.S. Secretary of State added that Russia is intensifying its attacks on cities, people, and particularly on energy infrastructure and electricity, 'all in the run-up to the coldest months of the year.'
