(23 Aug 2017) US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis arrived in Kiev on Wednesday to reassure government leaders that the US does not accept Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region.
The visit comes as the Trump administration considers plans to give Ukraine lethal weaponry, a decision endorsed by the Pentagon and the State Department.
A recent Pentagon statement said Mattis will reassure Ukraine that the US is "firmly committed to the goal of restoring Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
The Obama administration had rejected arming the Ukrainian army, arguing that it could worsen the violence that began in 2014.
