KYIV (Reuters) - The United States will reopen its Ukraine embassy, and President Joe Biden's top diplomat and most senior defense official promised more military aid while visiting Kyiv as Russia warned against arming its enemy and battles raged in the east.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said their ability to come to Ukraine's capital was proof of its tenacity in forcing Moscow to abandon an assault on the capital city last month.
