BREAKING: US first lady Jill Biden has made an unannounced visit to western Ukraine, holding a surprise meeting with her Ukrainian counterpart Olena Zelensky as Russia presses its war in eastern regions.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian media has reported that Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau also made an unannounced visit to the country.
She told Mrs Zelensky: ‘I thought it was important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop and this war has been brutal and that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine.’ Meanwhile, Mr Trudeau was pictured standing in front of buildings destroyed in bombing, as he spoke to people affected by the war, now mainly being waged in the east of the country.
The Ukrainian president’s wife thanked Mrs Biden for her ‘courageous act’ and said: ‘We understand what it takes for the US first lady to come here during a war when military actions are taking place every day, where the air sirens are happening every day – even today.’
