US President Joe Biden will visit Poland from February 20 to 22, on the eve of the first anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war, the White House announced, APA reports.

John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said Biden would make it clear that the United States would continue to send security and other assistance to Kyiv. The president will make it very clear that the United States will continue to stand by Ukraine as long as necessary, Kirby said.

For weeks, Biden's advisers have been planning how to mark the anniversary of the war including a possible address. They believe it is necessary to emphasize the resilience of the Ukrainian people along with continued unity among allies in the uncertain months ahead. Biden will meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Eastern European allies and discuss Ukraine, the White House said.
