Kerry to visit Kiev tomorrow to show support for Ukraine

Mr. Kerry had been scheduled to travel on Tuesday to an international meeting on Lebanon but will instead leave Washington on Monday for Ukraine, his first trip there as secretary of state.

Mr. Kerry will meet with senior Ukrainian leaders, and talk with the Parliament and civil society leaders, a senior official said. He will discuss measures to support Ukraine politically, the official said.

Earlier Sunday, Mr. Kerry warned that if Russia continued its military campaign in Ukraine, the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, “is not going to have a Sochi G-8,” a reference to the meeting of the industrialized nations that Mr. Putin of Russia is to host in June. “He may not even remain in the G-8 if this continues.”
