“Yes, you have to think, it looked like a big production, especially when after only a few hours we found out that the White House had previously coordinated all this with the Russians,” Davis said.

According to the lieutenant colonel, no one present at the meeting, including Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, "shuddered" when the air raid alert was issued, as everyone knew there would be no attacks.

Davis added that this visit did not bring Ukraine any benefit.

Biden arrived in Kyiv on an unscheduled visit on the morning of February 20.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the visit of US President Joe Biden to Kyiv a performance.
