U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of a UN Security Council ministerial meeting this week coinciding with the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They will discuss support for Kyiv, including a UN-brokered deal to keep grain exports flowing, the U.S. State Department announced. It said Blinken would press "the imperative to sustain and expand the Black Sea Grain Initiative as a vital means of addressing the global food security crisis." Blinken will also endorse "UN actions that will help secure a just and durable peace in Ukraine."
