How Biden’s Visit to Ukraine Unfolded

New York Times: “Mr. Biden departed the United States on Air Force One for Poland at 4:15 a.m. Eastern on Sunday. Only a few reporters, sworn to secrecy and deprived of their phones, came with him, along with Jake Sullivan, the president’s national security adviser; Jen O’Malley Dillon, his deputy chief of staff; and Annie Tomasini, the director of Oval Office operations.”

“Reporters traveling with him were allowed to send a pool report to other journalists only after his arrival. An American official who asked not to be identified said that after the flight to Poland, Mr. Biden crossed into Ukraine by train, traveling for nearly 10 hours to Kyiv. He was to leave on a similar train trip and then, after crossing back into Poland, head to Warsaw.”

“Footage of Mr. Biden with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and their public remarks was not made public until hours afterward.”
