evidence: Biden Visits Ukraine in Presidents’ Day Surprise: In Pictures [...] US President Joe Biden made a surprise five-hour visit to Kyiv on Monday, arguably the most significant trip to the Ukrainian capital by a global leader since Russia invaded almost a year ago. Meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskiy at the Ukrainian presidential residence amid heavy security — many streets in Kyiv were blocked off, leaving traffic at a standstill — the two also went to a famous cathedral and laid a wreath at the Wall of Remembrance for those who have died fighting in the war.
