| The first lady's stop in the border town of Uzhhorod is aimed at providing an emotional boost to Kyiv and follows visits by high-ranking officials including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. During the Mother's Day visit, Jill Biden met with Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska, who has not previously appeared in public since the Feb. 24 Russian invasion. Biden was in the midst of a trip to Romania and Slovakia, where she was reaffirming U.S. support for NATO allies on Europe's eastern flank. |
