Presidential adviser Jake Sullivan calls the president's visit to 'a capital of a nation at war' where there is no. U.S. military presence 'unprecedented.'
The visit comes at a critical moment in the war, as Russia plans a major new offensive and the U.S. and its European allies face more pressure to increase military aid to Ukraine.
Administration officials noted that the trip differed from visits in recent years by American presidents to Iraq and Afghanistan, where the U.S. had active military operations and could more easily coordinate security arrangements for the commander-in-chief. "One year later, Kyiv stands. And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands," Biden said."The Americans stand with you and the world stands with you."
The two leaders met privately to discuss battlefield strategy in an effort to reach a"common understanding on what the objectives are" for the coming year, Sullivan said.
