Blinken offers condolences following deadly Ukraine helicopter crash

Blinken noted that the crash “took the lives of senior officials in the government of Ukraine, including the Minister of Interior, the Deputy Minister, colleagues with whom we’ve worked very, very closely.”

“A couple of them left behind small children. They have been heroic in their efforts in defense of Ukraine against the Russian aggression and we stand with our friends in Ukraine in mourning their loss and recommitting to the efforts that we’re making to help Ukraine defend itself against this aggression,” Blinken said at the State Department Wednesday.
