How Joe Biden swept into Kyiv on a train from Poland amid a cloak of secrecy

The Telegraph  

Joe Biden made his first trip to Ukraine as US president on Monday, overriding objections from his security staff to make a gesture of solidarity with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Rather than travelling in via his presidential jet Air Force One, he took Ukraine’s state train service from the Polish border 400 miles east. “When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided," Mr Biden said. The visit marked one of the first occasions in modern history when a US president has entered a conflict zone where neither America nor its allies control the airspace.
