WASHINGTON, April 29 - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Ukraine next week, CBS News reported on Thursday, with tensions high between Ukraine and Russia.

CBS News said Blinken confirmed the trip in an interview to be broadcast on its "60 Minutes" program on Sunday.

Moscow alarmed Kyiv and Western capitals in April by building up forces along the border with Ukraine, though last week it ordered a withdrawal of some troops.
