US President in Ukraine

The visit of US President Joe Biden to Kyiv, which is the first by a powerful Western leader since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February last year, is seen as a show of support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine.

Although the White House had said last week that President Biden had no plans to visit Ukraine, his visit came as a surprise to many. While the truth behind the earlier statement may never be fully known, some details about the secretive and historic visit are starting to come to light.
