**From The Telegraph:**
American defence secretary Lloyd Austin has made a surprise visit to Ukraine in a bid to “reinforce the staunch support of the United States for Ukraine’s fight for freedom” amid the war in Gaza.
“He will also underscore the continued U.S. commitment to providing Ukraine with the security assistance it needs to defend itself from Russian aggression,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Austin said: “I’m here today to deliver an important message – the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”
It is his second visit to Ukraine since the war began.
