WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and Ukraine are "largely aligned" on what military equipment Ukraine needs to continue its fight against the Russian invasion and what Washington can provide, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.

Blinken told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he discussed those needs with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy when the two met on his trip to Ukraine on Sunday with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the first official U.S. visit there since Russia's invasion began on Feb. 24.
