US President Joe Biden is visiting Poland this Friday, in the city of Rzeszow, about 80 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the second leg of his trip to Europe.
He is thus on the front line in the Western engagement against the invasion launched by Moscow, which looks more and more like a war of attrition.
Arriving from Brussels, he will be received by Polish President Andrzej Duda at the airport of this city located two and a half hours by road from Lviv, the main city in western Ukraine, where refugees are flocking.
He will then receive a briefing on "the humanitarian response in order to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Ukraine and to respond to the increasing flow of refugees fleeing the war that (Vladimir) Putin has chosen", specified the White House.
He will give a speech in Warsaw
Joe Biden will meet American soldiers positioned in this region, part of the more than 100,000 American soldiers currently present in Europe.
He will then travel to Warsaw, where he will deliver a speech “about the united efforts of the free world to support the Ukrainian people” and “holding Russia accountable for its brutal war,” according to the White House.
These two days of visit to Poland come after an extraordinary diplomatic marathon in Brussels, where Joe Biden has multiplied the summits – NATO, G7, EU – to praise Western unity in its response to Russia, a month to the day after the start of its invasion of Ukraine.
NATO "response"
Joe Biden promised Brussels on Thursday for the first time a NATO “response” to the conflict in Ukraine if Russia resorted to chemical weapons there.
In this situation, Westerners found the risk of a chemical attack very credible, against which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned them on Thursday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also expressed Thursday evening its "concern" after being informed by the Ukrainian authorities of the bombing of the city where the staff of the Chernobyl site live.
On the economic front, the G7 and European Union countries will sanction any transaction involving Russia's gold reserves, to prevent Moscow from circumventing the financial isolation measures taken by the West.
