Jill Biden Makes Surprise Visit to UkraineJill Biden, the first lady, traveled to western Ukraine in an unannounced trip on Sunday, the latest sign of support from the United States, which has significantly increased military aid for Ukraine in recent weeks, the New York Times reports.
Dr. Biden met Ukraines first lady, Olena Zelenska, at a school in Uzhhorod, a town of 100,000 people a few miles from the border with Slovakia. The towns population has doubled in recent weeks with the arrival of people fleeing fighting elsewhere in the country.
