President Joe Biden arrived in Kyiv on Monday for a surprise visit to show solidarity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion approaches. | Biden confirmed his trip to the Ukrainian capital in a White House statement early Monday morning. 💬 "As the world prepares to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, I am in Kyiv today to meet with President Zelensky and reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine's democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. When [Russian President Vladimir] Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us. But he was dead wrong." ● Biden said he entered into talks with Zelensky and his team about extending United States' support for the country as the Russian invasion endures. He also said his administration would add new sanctions against Moscow. ● Biden had been scheduled to visit neighboring Poland this week, a NATO ally and supporter of Ukraine to discuss "collective efforts to support Ukraine and bolster NATO's deterrence," the White House said.
