US President Joe Biden will visit Poland from February 20 to 22, shortly before the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Friday.
He will meet Polish President Andrzej Duda there “to discuss our bilateral cooperation and our collective efforts to support Ukraine and strengthen NATO’s deterrent capabilities,” he said.
The US president will also meet with the so-called “Bucharest Nine” group, a group of Eastern European countries, members of the Western defense alliance. Joe Biden also intends to deliver a speech in which he will repeat that the United States will support Ukraine “for as long as it takes.”
Asked about a possible trip to Ukraine, John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, told a news conference that he had “no other steps to mention.”
