Dr Biden met with Ukraine’s first lady Olena Zelenska in the western Ukrainian town of Uzhhorod, presenting her with a bouquet of flowers. President Joe Biden has faced questions from his critics in the media and US political establishment as to whether he would visit Ukraine following visits from other world leaders including the UK’s prime minister, Boris Johnson and now Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau. Western Ukraine is being ravaged by airstrikes as the bulk of the fighting in Ukraine has shifted to the east, especially around Mariupol where Russian forces appear to be on the brink of achieving total control of the city; doing so would amount to Moscow’s first capture of a major civilian centre since the war began and its military failed to neutralise Kyiv.
