US President Joe Biden is in Kiev, several media reports. In videos on social media, he is seen walking around the capital, flanked by a large security presence. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi is seen at his side.
It is the first time the American president has visited Ukraine since Russia’s invasion almost a year ago. His wife Jill Biden visited Uzhhorod in western Ukraine last May and met Ukraine’s first lady Olena Zelenska.
The leading Republican of the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, was also in Ukraine in May to meet with Zelenskyi.
Joe Biden’s visit to Kiev is unannounced. According to previous information from the White House, he would have traveled to Poland on Monday evening.
