Jill Biden was president's eyes, ears on trip to Ukraine
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) The first telephone call Jill Biden made from her black SUV after an unannounced meeting with her Ukrainian counterpart inside the embattled country was to her husband, President Joe Biden.
Biden and Olena Zelenska, who had not been seen in public since President Vladimir Putin sent Russia's military into her country nearly 11 weeks ago, had just spent about two hours together at a school in Uzhhorod in western Ukraine.
With her visit to the Ukraine war zone, the U.S. first lady was able to act as a second pair of eyes and ears for the president, who so far has been unable to visit the country himself.
Sometimes the first lady is able to do things and get into places where the president cant, said Myra Gutin, author of The Presidents Partner: The First Lady in the Twentieth Century.
