The United States is considering sending a high-ranking official to Ukraine in the near future as a sign of solidarity with the country amid the war with Russia, a knowledgeable person told the New York Times on Wednesday. The official was to go to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Since the start of the war, President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken have visited neighboring countries, but no US officials have entered Ukraine in public.
