Ukrainians hail President Biden's visit — organized in the strictest secrecy — as a historic moment that carries huge symbolism ahead of the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
Kyiv has had no shortage of visiting foreign dignitaries in recent months, including a European Union chief, two British prime ministers, French President Emmanuel Macron and other senior U.S. officials.
Instead the apparent presence of U.S. military aircraft in the area, videos showing a motorcade driving through restricted streets and news of a trip canceled at the last minute by Ukraine's foreign minister stoked theories about what might be afoot. Biden arrived around 8am local time but the visit was not publicly confirmed until midday local time .Former President Dmitry Medvedev said Biden had used his trip to promise"a lot of weapons and [swear] allegiance to the neo-Nazi regime to the grave," a reference to Putin's baseless description of the Ukrainian government.
