Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will visit Kyiv.
The White House has not confirmed any visit by Blinken and Austin. The State Department and Pentagon declined to comment. He told a news conference on Saturday that talks with his US visitors would cover the "powerful, heavy weapons" Ukraine needed and the pace of supplies that he said would be used to retake territory.
"The place where our civilians and military are located is shelled with heavy air bombs and artillery," senior Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter, calling for "a real Easter truce in Mariupol."Fighting in Mariupol, the biggest battle of the conflict, has raged for weeks.
A new attempt to evacuate civilians from Mariupol failed on Saturday, an aide to the city's mayor said. The governor of Donetsk, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said two children were killed by shelling in his area on Sunday.
