They attempted to smuggle US President Joe Biden into Ukraine as part of a visit to Poland, Politico reports.
The politician intends to meet his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda and other key NATO leaders. The trip is scheduled just days before the anniversary of the start of the conflict, which Russia could mark with a show of force.
As part of a visit to Poland, Biden’s aides attempted to smuggle him secretly across the border into Ukraine. The American president is one of the last Western leaders not to have visited the country yet. However, this would require a 10 hour drive or a difficult flight. The objective, as envisaged in the United States, did not justify the possible risks.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration demands that the authorities in Kiev consolidate the achievements at the front. According to several sources, the White House has called on the Ukrainian armed forces to prepare for the offensive now, while the support of the United States and Europe is not lacking.
