Protesters greeted President Biden in Poland on Tuesday by pleading with him to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, something the U.S. had ruled out.
The group held up a sign that said “Mr. Biden send F-16 to Ukraine,” and a woman shouted into a microphone as the president’s motorcade swept through Warsaw to the presidential palace.
Mr. Biden is meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda one day after his surprise visit to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Mr. Biden has pledged artillery, ammunition, anti-armor systems and air defense radars for Ukraine, yet the U.S. package has not included the F-16 jets that Mr. Zelenskyy says are critical to winning the war.
