KYIV — President Biden has arrived in Poland for meetings with former Soviet nations after his surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital, where he promised almost half a billion dollars’ worth of aid for Ukraine’s fight against a nearly year-long Russian invasion.
In Warsaw on Tuesday, Biden is set to meet with leaders of former Soviet Union nations to discuss how the West can help Ukraine fight off Russian forces.
After Biden’s announcement of the financial commitment Monday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the $460 million in aid would include ammunition for U.S.-provided missile and tank systems, air surveillance radars and “emergency assistance to keep Ukraine’s energy infrastructure up and running in the face of Russia’s relentless missile and drone attacks.”
