Biden to travel to Poland as Russian invasion of Ukraine continues

As previously reported, President Biden had already made plans to be in Europe, in Brussels, to attend what is being called an "extraordinary" summit of the NATO allies in the wake of the Russian invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

The statement starts off with: "This week, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. will travel to Poland following his meetings in Brussels Belgium with our NATO Allies, G7 Leaders, and European Union leaders to discuss international efforts to support Ukraine and impose severe and unprecedented costs on Russia for its invasion."

"On Friday, March 25, President Biden will travel to Warsaw, Poland, where he will hold a bilateral meeting with President Andrzej Duda."

Specifically, Psaki's statement details that "The President will discuss how the United States, alongside our Allies and partners, is responding to the humanitarian and human rights crisis that Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked war on Ukraine has created."

It is speculated that the main issue on the table during the Poland talks will be that of the MiG-29 fighter planes the US wants Poland to send to Ukraine, to aid in air defense against Russian aggression.

Vice President Kamala Harris already visited Europe on March 9 with the same goal in mind.
