US President Joe Biden makes surprise visit to Kyiv ahead of Ukraine war anniversary – BBC News

US President Joe Biden has made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine - his first since Russia invaded almost a year ago.

Ahead of a joint press conference, Biden sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and said he was "looking forward to discussing the world" with him.

Biden also praised Ukrainian citizens for their "heroic" fighting - despite a lack of military experience.

The US president is due to begin a three-day visit to Poland later today.
