The Ukrainian outlet was first to report the news, citing anonymous sources.

Strana reported: 'Yesterday at about 11:00 a.m. the body of an attaché of the U.S. Embassy was found in a hotel room. No signs of violence were found on the body.' 

The outlet added that 'No autopsy was performed' and 'the body was taken by the US Embassy.'

There are between 100 and 200 US diplomats and military personnel in Kyiv. 

The news comes as the European Union is expected to sign a security agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday, pledging to keep delivering weapons, military training and other aid to Kyiv for years to come.

The agreement will lay out the EU's commitment to help Ukraine in nine areas of security and defense policy - including arms deliveries, military training, defense industry cooperation and demining, according to a draft seen by Reuters.

The pact is intended to complement similar agreements sealed between Ukraine and its allies as it continues its defense against Russia's invasion.

Countries including the United States, Britain, France and Germany have sealed security pacts with Kyiv.
