US President Joe Biden will visit a town in Poland that is near the border with Ukraine, the White House says, as he seeks to show Western resolve against Russia’s invasion.

Biden will be greeted by Polish President Andrzej Duda in Rzeszow, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the Ukrainian border, the White House says in a statement on the president’s travel plans for Friday, during an emergency visit to Europe that was prompted by the war in Ukraine.
