Washington (AFP) - Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Ukraine on April 22 to stress US support for Kiev and steps to improve its energy security amid a crisis with neighboring Russia.

If Biden waits until the 22nd, he may have to get a Russian visa.

Very symbolic that he’s planning to visit on April 22nd. What liberal hero was born on that day?

Where John Kerry's diplomacy failed Joe Biden's comedy is supposed to succeed?

This is a new level of embarrassing. But it's not like this administration has a reputation to protect.

Biden’s value is less than half that of Moskova. There is no way the Russians would accept him in trade for Crimea.

Thanks! Although, calling him a patron saint, is kinda funny- considering, how his views on human nature, were so completely unfunny and anti-saint.
