Joe Biden has arrived in Ukraine, for the first time, for a surprise visit for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The US president visited Kyiv for the first time since the war in Ukraine began nearly a year ago and his public itinerary suggested he would be visiting Poland, so his visit to Ukraine’s capital has come as a surprise.
He is the first US president to visit Ukraine since George W. Bush in 2008 and the visit comes only four days before the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
