U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield has arrived in Ukraine on a visit, Director of Communications and Press Secretary of the U.S. Mission to the UN Nate Evans has said.
"The U.S. Ambassador to the UN is in Kyiv for a day of meetings to reiterate US's unwavering support for Ukraine as it defends its freedom and sovereignty amidst Russia's brutal and unprovoked invasion," Evans said onTwitter on Tuesday.
While in Kyiv, Thomas-Greenfield will meet with Ukrainian government leaders to discuss the unwavering U.S. commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and independence, according to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine. She will oversee efforts to document and preserve evidence of atrocities committed by Russian forces and hear first-hand accounts from survivors.
