Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the focus of NATO's Allied Foreign Affairs Ministers meeting being held Tuesday and Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium, and might lead to Ukraine joining NATO.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading back to Europe for what will likely be the last high-level NATO meeting before the Biden administration leaves office next month.

For the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian president put forward a possible deal that could end the fighting.

During his final news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomes President Yoon Suk Yeol's decision to lift his martial law order in response to the National Assembly's vote invalidating it.

The United States was not aware of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's intention to declare martial law, U.S. Secretary State Antony Blinken told Reuters on Wednesday, adding that he was anticipating speaking with his South Korean counterpart in the coming days.

Parliamentary aides in South Korea emptied fire extinguishers on armed troops entering the national assembly as protesters took to the streets.
