The wife of the American President travels to the Ukraine during her trip to Eastern Europe….
She meets with Ukraine President Zelensky’s wife…..
Very Good…..
Question?
Why hasn’t her husband …The President of the United States done so also?
Sure there are no US troops in the Ukraine…
But even President Obama went to Afghanistan….
This IS another example of Biden NOT acting like a President…
But more like a legislator….
Heck?
Even Pelosi made the trip……
And Biden don’t have to have the YUGE travel parade that moves with a President…
Just go Joe
It might even get ya more approval numbers, eh?
Jill Biden, the first lady, traveled to western Ukraine in an unannounced trip on Sunday, the latest show of support from the United States, which has significantly increased military aid for Ukraine in recent weeks.
Dr. Biden met Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska, at a school in Uzhhorod, a town of 100,000 people a few miles from the border with Slovakia. The town’s population has doubled in recent weeks with the arrival of people fleeing fighting elsewhere in the country.
Ms. Zelenska, the wife of President Volodymyr Zelensky, has not been seen in public since Russia’s invasion began on Feb. 24. She and Dr. Biden embraced outside the school, which has been converted to a temporary shelter for fleeing families, and Dr. Biden gave her a bouquet.
In a small room afterward, the two women briefly addressed reporters, with Ms. Zelenska thanking Dr. Biden for her “courageous” visit….

The visit made Dr. Biden the latest high-profile person close to President Biden to travel to Ukraine. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III visited Kyiv, the capital, last month, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Mr. Zelensky there last week. The details of both trips were shrouded in secrecy because of security concerns.
Mr. Biden traveled to Poland for three days at the end of March. While he visited troops near the border with Ukraine, he stopped short of entering the country because of security concerns…
The Canadian Prime Minister showed up ALSO in the Ukraine this weekend….
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an unannounced visit on Sunday to the Ukrainian town of Irpin, which was retaken from Russian troops in late March after fierce fighting, the town’s mayor said on Telegram.
“I’ve just had an honor to meet with the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, who came to Irpin to see with his own eyes all the horror which Russian occupiers have caused to our town,” Oleksandr Markushyn said on his Telegram channel….
