 "Antony Blinken, US secretary of state")
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has assured to impose more sanctions against Russia and will provide weapons to Ukraine, said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Monday (local time).
"In our call, @SecBlinken affirmed that the U.S. support for Ukraine remains unfaltering. I underscored that Ukraine craves for peace, but as long as we are under Russia's assault, we need more sanctions and weapons. Secretary assured me of both. We coordinated further steps," Kuleba tweeted.
He also held talks with European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Russia's latest war crimes in Ukraine.
"Call with @JosepBorrellF on Russia's latest war crimes in Ukraine, including brutal indiscriminate shelling of civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv which led to multiple civilian casualties.

Taking to Twitter, Kuleba informed that he had a call with his Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio.
