The White House officially confirmed Biden’s visit to Poland and disclosed the details.
US President Joe Biden will visit Poland on a working visit on February 20-22. This was announced by White House spokesperson Karin Jean-Pierre at a press briefing.
A meeting with the President of Poland Andrzej Duda and leaders of other countries of the region is planned. Biden will also deliver a speech dedicated to the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“He wants to talk about the importance of the determination and unity of the international community in supporting Ukraine throughout the year,” added US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
According to Kirby, Biden will send a signal to Ukraine about the continued support of the United States.
“We know that the coming weeks and months will be difficult and critical, especially for their own forces, and the United States will continue to support them,” the speaker said.
Biden’s visit to Poland
It became known about Biden’s plans to visit Poland on the eve of the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine back in January. Also, according to the media, this visit may be timed to allocate a new package of military aid to Ukraine.
Since Biden’s visit to Ukraine is ruled out for security reasons, he may hold a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to Poland. According to the media, at this meeting, Zelensky will present his 10-point peace plan to Biden.
At the beginning of February, the Polish authorities officially confirmed that Biden is indeed planning a quick visit to this country.
