The United States is set to resume diplomatic operations in Ukraine this week and President Joe Biden will soon announce his nominee for ambassador, according to several reports, in a strong show of support for the Ukrainian government as its military fights a renewed offensive by the invading Russian forces in the country.
The Secretary of State spoke during his meeting with the Prime Minister.
Reports of a renewed diplomatic push come after U.S secretary of state Antony Blinken and Defense visited Kyiv on Sunday and met with President Volodymyr Zelensky, in the first high-level U.S. visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia's invasion.
According to the Washington Post, US diplomats who left the country after Russia invaded will return to the western city of Lviv later this week.
The New York Times reported that Zelensky was told by the U.S. delegation that the U.S. plans to reopen its embassy in Kyiv.
The current U.S. ambassador to Slovakia will be nominated by Biden on Monday, filling a position that has remained vacant since the ousting of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch by Donald Trump.
The aid package for 15 allied nations and partner nations who have supported Kyiv with military supplies will include $322 million in foreign military financing.
