Here’s how the US President made a covert trip to Ukraine
US PRESIDENT JOE Biden’s surprise visit yesterday morning to wartime Kyiv began in the dead of night at a military airport hangar outside Washington.
Fifteen minutes later, Biden, a handful of security personnel, a small medical team, close advisors, and two journalists who had been sworn to secrecy, took off en route to a war zone. The reporter, Sabrina Siddiqui from The Wall Street Journal, revealed — once allowed by the White House to publish details — that she and the photographer were summoned to Joint Base Andrews outside Washington at 2.15 am.
The next flight was to Poland, landing in Rzeszow–Jasionka Airport. This may be a Polish airport, but since the Ukraine war it has also become an international hub for the US-led effort to arm the Ukrainians, funneling billions of dollars of weaponry and ammunition.Up to this point, Siddiqui and the photographer, the Associated Press’ Evan Vucci, had not seen Biden himself. That didn’t change at the airport or when they got into a motorcade of SUVs.
