SOUNDBITE (English) Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State: "One of the purposes of my visit to Kyiv yesterday was to hear from our Ukrainian partners what they believe they need now to deal with the current battlefield, including in eastern Ukraine and other parts of the country. And I can tell you that as we go forward, we will do exactly what we have already done, which is we will adjust, will adapt as necessary, including with regard to the means that are at Ukraine's disposal to effectively defend against the Russian aggression."
