Mrs Biden said she wanted "to show that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine", adding that the war - now in its third month - had been "brutal" and had to stop.She added that the visit, on Mother's Day in Ukraine and in the US, was very symbolic.The two women later sat down and played with some of the dozens of children who are currently housed at the school, making tissue paper bears - the symbol of the local province.

It is unclear who is on the list of 2,600 Russian and Belarusian individuals to be hit with visa restrictions.

Sanctions only strengthen roubles

Great frist woman leader of America 🌷🇮🇳🦚

This 'lady' subjected kindergarten kids to an ordeal (on video) whereby she shamed those with Russian names. It just shows the sick ignorance that western elites often display when an ally can be or do whatever they want and still be greeted with a peck on the cheek or handshake.

What kind of war has concerts and celebrities taking vacations to the war zone. This war is making so much money. And how come none of them die or get injured with these publicity stunts.

President JoeBiden will be popping over to Ukraine soon for a cuppa as it's so safe, just like Bojo did and NancyPelosi

They look very happy considering civilians are dying around them

She might give you a job in Walmart

I’m sorry how deadly is this war if the effing First Lady of America can attend?! Has any First Lady ever flown into a live active brutal war where nuclear and chemical weapons and what not are being used ? Damn Mind blown
