Kiev, (Asian independent) Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that he had discussed military support for Ukraine with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

“Heavy weapons on top of our agenda, and more are coming our way,” Kuleba tweeted after the conversation.

Kuleba said he appreciated Blinken’s personal efforts to ensure a sustained US and global support for Ukraine, Xinhua news agency reported.

The issue of Ukraine’s food exports was also discussed at the talks, Kuleba said.
