US president makes surprise visit to Polish town of Rzeszów about an hour from Ukrainian border
Ukraine-Russia war – latest updates
Joe Biden has visited the Polish town of Rzeszów, about an hour’s drive from the Ukrainian border, in a symbolic show of support for eastern European states that are seeing Russian aggression wreak havoc in their neighbourhood.
During the visit, which the White House had kept under wraps until shortly before his arrival, the American leader got a first-hand look at international efforts to help the over 2 million Ukrainian refugees who have found temporary shelter from war in their country in Poland, and met US troops bolstering Nato’s eastern flank.
