President Joe Biden visited Kyiv on Monday for the first time since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost a year ago, demonstrating in dramatic personal fashion his commitment to the country and its struggle as the war enters an uncertain new phase.
While in Kyiv, Biden met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well as first lady Olena Zelenska at the Ukrainian presidential palace.
Biden’s visit comes at a critical moment in the 12-month conflict, with Russia preparing for an expected spring offensive and Ukraine hoping to soon retake territory. The United States and other western nations have been rushing arms, tanks and ammunition to Ukraine in the hopes of changing the trajectory of the war.
By visiting in person, Biden is offering a singular image of American support for Zelensky, who has spent the past year attempting to rally the world behind his home nation and appealing for greater levels of assistance.
Zelensky himself traveled to Washington in December to meet Biden in the Oval Office and speak to a joint session of Congress – his first trip outside Ukraine since the war began.
The Ukrainian leader invited Biden to visit Kyiv months ago, saying he believed it was important for the US leader to see the situation up close.
“I think he’s the leader of the United States, and that’s why he should come here to see,” Zelensky said in April during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper. As recently as last week, Zelensky said his invitation for Biden to visit Ukraine remained open, even as he acknowledged there were other means for them to speak.
“President Biden and I meet occasionally. You know that we have invited the President. I think he will be happy to visit Ukraine if he has the opportunity.

Ukraine ping
Biden visits Ukraine. Will he come bearing gifts - the requested equipment he has so far denied - fighter jets and accompanying munitions? Biden being who he is, this is likely little more than a photo op. But hope springs eternal ...
He went to check up on his hidden money!
Sad.
Yeah. You want Biden to give Zelensky the nuclear codes, don’t you, you Christian-hating tool.
Lock up Gropin’ Joe on bribery charges.

Zlochevsky is currently in exile, perhaps somewhere in Russia.
This demonic pedophile just went to collect his 10%.
Didn’t i just read yesterday that they were insisting that Biden was NOT going to ukraine? Everything in the media is just lies and propaganda.
we have someone in control of the nuclear codes, pushing for ww3, who has literally had BRAIN SURGERY.... and once again the media has covered up that FACT and it has never been discussed.
Stock photo?
I bet it is not even Slo Joe, but one of the “NOT JOE’s.
Yes. I am serious.
Making sure he gets his 10%...
Big Guy visits the Little Actor on site, tells him in-person how much of the new $500,000.000 slush fund that Brandon & Co. will collect.
PR exercise. Biden has been looking for approval from this public support, and to piggyback on Zelensky. We on this side of politics need to grin and bear it. Biden gets to play President.
Proving anyone with half a brain can be president...
“Christian hating”
I detect a hint of psychosis here.

C’mon Russia, we’re all counting on you!
CNN?? It’s BS. No doubt stock video. Biden is in DC sitting on his favorite toilet and sniffing his favorite staff.
He is being fair.
As much time for Ukraine’s border as our own.
(—-much more money for Ukraines border)
