Ukraine: Blinken flies to Europe amid Russia invasion fears

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Europe on Wednesday amid mounting fears that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could be imminent.

Mr Blinken will hold discussions with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, before meeting with his British, French and German counterparts in Berlin.

On Friday he will meet Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva.

Russia has repeatedly denied any plans to launch an attack on neighbouring Ukraine.

However on Tuesday senior US officials said that Moscow could launch an invasion at "any point".
