U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is confident that Ukraine will survive the war that began with the full-scale invasion of Russia, and noted that this challenge has unprecedentedly united NATO.

He posted such statements on his Twitter.

"We know that a sovereign independent Ukraine will endure. And we also know that by supporting Ukraine, we are defending the principles of sovereignty and independence that are the foundation of peace and security in the world," Blinken wrote.

He noted that Putin started the war and was confident he could destroy Ukraine as an independent state and bring a rift into NATO.

"Instead, he only strengthened Ukraine's sovereignty and independence. And NATO is stronger, more established and more united than ever," the secretary of state added. - We remain united and determined to ensure that the Ukrainian authorities and people can defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of their state," the official said.
