President Biden Says It’s ‘Not Likely’ He Will Visit Ukraine On Europe Trip

President Joe Biden said he won't visit the Ukraine during his upcoming trip to Europe but he said he talks to President Volodymyr Zelensky three or four times a week  

CNN: Biden says it’s ‘not likely’ he will visit Ukraine on Europe trip  

President Joe Biden said Monday he is “not likely” to visit Ukraine when he travels to Europe for the Group of Seven summit and a meeting of NATO leaders later on this week. 

The President told reporters a stop in Ukraine is “not likely” on the upcoming trip, which will include stops in Germany and Spain. Biden said he does not want to “cause more difficulty for Ukrainians” by adding a stop. 

On Saturday, Biden will travel to Schloss Elmau in southern Germany to attend the G7 Leaders’ Summit, a meeting that is expected to include a focus on Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine. 

On June 28, the President will travel to Madrid, Spain, for the 2022 NATO Summit – another alliance that has been aiding Ukraine amid Russia’s advancements.

WNU Editor: I would be surprised if President Biden goes to Ukraine. Kyiv is a security nightmare right now. But should President Biden does decide to go to Ukraine, it would probably be in Lviv or at a location near the border.
