President Biden made a surprise visit to Ukraine, his first time to the war-torn country of his presidency and to show support ahead of the eve of the one-year anniversary since Russia launching its full-scale invasion.
In a high-stakes call, President Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that the U.S. would impose “strong economic and other measures” in the event of a potential invasion of Ukraine, while the Kremlin demanded guarantees that NATO would not expand further eastward, ending in neither side reporting any substantial progress occuring in Tuesday’s summit.
