Biden makes surprise visit to Ukraine as air raid sirens sound: 'Democracy stands'
Biden’s unannounced visit came amid the sounding of air raid sirens as he pledged an additional half a billion dollars in U.S. assistance. His trip to Ukraine's capital comes less than a week before this Friday's one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
Biden, in comments alongside Zelensky, reaffirmed his commitment to supporting Ukraine, and he noted triumphantly that Kyiv remains standing nearly a year into a war Russian President Vladimir Putin and others thought would only last a matter of weeks. Biden also announced a $500 million military aid package that will include artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars, though he did not mention a number of weapons the Ukrainians have requested that the U.S. has so far declined to provide.
