Ukraine

From Page 9

Blinken has expressed confidence in Ukraine’s military momentum even as its forces have complained about ammunition and equipment shortages, and advances on the ground have slowed. But he also suggested that the war may not end, as leaders in Kyiv have pledged, with the recovery of every inch of their country.

“Where exactly this settles remains to be seen,” Blinken said. “And Ukraine has to make important decisions about exactly where it’s going to go, how far it can get, and how it wants to pursue this. But we’re determined to sustain that support.”

Zelensky has expressed dismay about the Discord leak - which also detailed sensitive Ukrainian vulnerabilities in areas including air defense - and his irritation about the lack of follow-up from U.S. officials.

Blinken said he had spoken with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba about the leaks after the material was made public. In that conversation, Blinken said, he communicated that the United States “very much regretted the unauthorized disclosure of these documents” and had arrested the person allegedly responsible.

Blinken said Ukraine and other countries benefit from the “extraordinary information” the U.S. intelligence agencies generate, with much of Kyiv’s signals intelligence powered by America’s far-reaching electronic surveillance programs. He said foreign partners have not expressed anger to him about the leaks.

Blinken praised last week’s phone call between Zelensky and Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying it was “vitally important that China and other countries that have been seeking to advance peace hear from the victim, not just the aggressor.”

Earlier this year, Xi introduced a 12-point peace plan for Ukraine, but had not spoken to Zelensky since the start of the conflict while having calls and a meeting with Putin. U.S. officials have cautioned China, Russia’s most powerful foreign friend, against providing weapons to Moscow.

Blinken said that it was possible China could play a productive role in bringing the war to an end and that Xi’s peace plan included “positive” elements. But he said it wasn’t clear whether the Chinese leader had yet accepted that Ukraine is the victim and Russia is the aggressor in the conflict.
