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.

I’m trying to recall that time that Biden, as president, visited US troops in Afghanistan...
I don’t think he did. But he will visit a corrupt foreign government and send them $$$ that we don’t even have.

He went to pick up his hidden money!
Fact check complete
Hunter can’t be the pick up guy any more.
Hopefully the schmuck won’t come back they can have him… he won’t go visit east Palestine though too damn far
Biden is so impressed with his own pseudo capabilities imagined by his handlers for the purpose of propaganda,that he thinks he can make Putin shake in his boots.
Putin is on a suicide mission. The only way Putin can be stopped is through the Art of the Deal, something Biden knows NOTHING about.
Biden will cause the deaths of untold millions if he is allowed to keep his present trajectory.
Surprise Visit?
Who was the most surprised, Joe?
China is expected to announce its ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine later this week
Needs more cash to pay for Hunter’s lawyers.

When you own the media like they do along with the neocons you can get away with it we’ve been getting away with it since Vietnam really if you look at it we’ve gotten away with it more or less since World War II
step back and think how many of our military ventures since then have worked out or been justified
Nation building and trying to run the world it’s just simply of a Mistake and we should guard our own interest and help our friends and be charitable when possible like maybe Rwanda or Nigeria that sort of thing and punish our enemies when they transgress like in Afghanistan kick their ass and leave the rest of this crap its a damn tar pit
For all our humanity we have no problem getting a lot of Ukrainians killed
Partition the damn country and get over with it
Did he sniff any woman’s hair while he was there?
On presidents day..... what a dick !
Trump is going there.
Because he’s a real American.
