US President Joe Biden has landed in the city of Rzeszow in southeastern Poland — around 80 kilometers (50 miles) in a straight line from the border with Ukraine.
Biden is due to meet US soldiers stationed in the area and non-governmental organizations helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing Russia’s invasion.
Visiting the region more than a month after Russia launched its assault, Biden will travel on to Warsaw to meet Polish leaders and visit a reception center for refugees.
He is due to wrap up the visit on Saturday with a major speech.
Poland is an EU and NATO member that has taken in millions of Ukrainians, offered financial support to Ukraine and sent arms.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Friday that there were around 10,500 US soldiers currently in Poland and reiterated Biden’s promise to defend “every inch” of NATO territory.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
