Her visit comes immediately after recent drone attacks in the war-scarred city and also marks her second visit to Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion. A series of recent Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted infrastructure deep inside Russian territory, including energy, oil facilities, and industrial complexes.
