The US Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to visit Ukraine on Thursday, will open discussion on providing lethal aid to the Ukrainian government, reports the New York Times.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey and John Kerry will hold discussion on the matter, officials have told reporters.
The president’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, who has previously resisted calls to provide lethal aid to Ukraine, is now prepared to reconsider the issue, another source told the press.
The reports come as the death toll in eastern Ukraine rises as the cease fire and peace negotiations between the government and separatist militants collapsed over the weekend.
