KYIV — American President Biden arrived in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv for a surprise six-hour flying visit Monday, meeting with Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky.
Rumors had abounded in the Ukrainian capital that someone special was visiting — there was an exceptionally high level of security, even in a city that has regularly hosted high level foreign dignitaries over the past year. Whole sectors of the city center were closed to traffic and cordoned off, with significant numbers of Ukrainian police and security forces visible as Biden’s motorcade sped through.
Like everyone else, from high-ranking foreign dignitaries to journalists and an array of Western celebrities, Biden arrived in Kyiv by rail. His traveling party was reportedly uncharacteristically small, and his motorcade was missing the famous “beast,” the heavily armored Secret Service limousine that normally accompanies the president overseas.
At a joint press conference with the Ukrainian president, Biden praised Ukrainian resilience and declared his “unwavering support” for the country. He also directed his ire at Putin, saying the Russian autocrat “thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided.” “He thought he could outlast us,” Biden continued. “I don’t think he’s thinking that right now. God knows what he’s thinking but I don’t think he’s thinking that. He’s been plain wrong.
