[Global Web Report] According to the latest news from the "Washington Post" on the 8th, the US First Lady Jill Biden visited Ukraine on the same day without prior announcement.
Entering an "active war zone" is a rare move for the incumbent's spouse, the report said.
Although Ukrainian President Zelensky invited Biden to visit Ukraine, so far, Biden has not visited.
Jill reportedly entered Ukraine from Slovakia on Mother's Day after meeting refugees at a border checkpoint.
While in Ukraine, she met with the country's first lady, Olena Zelenska.
The Associated Press said that Gill arrived in Uzhhorod, Ukraine by car, and stayed in Ukraine for about 2 hours.
Jill and Olena met in a small classroom, sitting opposite each other at a table, talking first in front of reporters and then in private.
"I want to come on Mother's Day," Gill told Olena. "I think it's important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop, this war is brutal, and the American people stand with the Ukrainian people. ." Olena thanked Jill for her "courageous act."
The Washington Post said Olena has not been seen in public since Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine on February 24.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his children have been in an undisclosed location for security reasons, the report said.
The White House official website announced on the 2nd that Jill Biden will visit Romania and Slovakia from May 5th to 9th.
CNN said this is the second time Jill Biden has made a solo trip as first lady.
Last July, she traveled to Japan for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics.
