Blinken confirmed the imminent resignation of US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
She reports that she made the decision herself.
"It is Victoria's leadership in Ukraine that diplomats and foreign policy scholars will study for years to come. Her efforts were indispensable in resisting Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in forging a global coalition to ensure his strategic failure, and in helping Ukraine reach the day when it can get back on its feet - democratically, economically and militarily," Blinken wrote.
Deputy Secretary for Management John Bass will temporarily take Nuland's place.
