Biden's Poland Visit to Spotlight Aid for Ukraine
RZESZOW, PolandPresident Biden traveled to this once quiet town that has developed into a principal hub for Western military aid to Ukraine, signaling U.S. determination to support Kyiv with high-tech weaponry to punish Moscow for its invasion.
Mr. Biden is scheduled to meet his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, a day after both of them attended a North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit where members pledged to reinforce the alliances eastern flank, provide further military support to Ukraine, and impose high economic costs on Russia for its attack that began Feb. 24.
The two leaders are expected to focus on the growing refugee crisis, with the bulk of Ukrainians fleeing the fighting having crossed into Poland. More than 3.7 million people have fled Ukraine, the United Nations said, with over 2.2 million arriving in Poland.
Mr. Biden on Thursday said the U.S. would take in 100,000. Leaders of the Group of Seven industrialized countries after their Thursday meeting in Brussels, also attended by Mr. Biden, called for greater international assistance for those countries neighboring Ukraine and most affected by the inflow of refugees.
