U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will address
Ukraine's legislature on Tuesday as part of a two-day visit to the country, a
senior administration official said.
Biden will speak about U.S. opposition to
Russia's annexation of Crimea and American support for Ukraine's debt
restructuring agreement, the official said on Wednesday.
The official would not comment on whether the
United States would pledge more military assistance to Ukraine during the trip
next week.
Biden will meet with Ukrainian President Petro
Poroshenko and Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk on Monday.
The visit comes on the heels of U.S. President
Barack Obama's discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Paris. Obama
urged Putin to honor the Minsk cease-fire agreement in Ukraine.
