6:30 a.m.: Joe Biden travels to Poland, near the Ukrainian border
Joe Biden is expected in the Polish city of Rzeszow, about 80 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the second leg of his trip to Europe.
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.
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 go to Warsaw, where he will deliver a speech "on the united efforts of the free world to support the Ukrainian people" and "hold Russia accountable for its brutal war", according to the White House.
