Top Army officials visit Kyiv on peace and tech sharing mission

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and chief of staff Gen. Randy George became the highest-level Trump Pentagon officials to visit Ukraine when they arrived on an unannounced trip this week, as the U.S. moves to find a way to speed the end of the war.

The duo are slated to meet with Ukrainian military leaders, lawmakers and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, starting Wednesday.

The focus of the trip will be to engage Ukrainian leadership on the stalled peace process with Russia, even though Moscow has rebuffed all previous attempts by the U.S. and Ukraine to bring the fighting to a halt.
The U.S. and Ukraine have also been working on a major deal to exchange drone and autonomous munitions technologies, and this trip in part is meant to bolster that effort.
