TheVoiceOfJoyce President Biden visited Kyiv as planned and I’m sure delivered information and confirmed additional funding for weapons. There is fierce fighting in the Donbas region and the Ukrainians are holding territory, though Russia is capable of Firing 50 – 500,000 rounds daily. Ukraine must be able to knock out their capabilities and force a withdrawal. Sweden and Finland are applying for NATO and membership and this time, Turkey won’t block them. The German government has spent 4% of their GDP on Ukrainian defense.

Joe Biden has visited the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, defying threats of Russian missile attacks, to announce a new package of additional US weapons supplies worth $500m (£415m), as Ukraine prepares to mark the sombre anniversary of last year’s full-scale Russian invasion. The US president, closely surrounded by a large security detail, was escorted by his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, on a walkabout around central Kyiv as air sirens could be heard, confirming rumours of a visit that had been circulating during the morning.

Biden got a short firsthand taste of the terror that Ukrainians have lived with for close to a year as air raids sirens sounded over the capital as he and Zelenskiy were exiting the gold-domed St Michael’s Cathedral. In a post on his social media channels, Zelenskiy welcomed Biden to Kyiv posting a photograph of the two men standing in front of Ukrainian and US flags. “Joseph Biden, welcome to Kyiv! Your visit is an extremely important sign of support for all Ukrainians,” he said on Telegram.
