According to the US broadcaster CNN, White House officials are discussing the possibility of such a trip and details have yet to be finalized.

A senior US administration official said that one stop under consideration is Poland, a key NATO ally housing thousands of American troops and a hub for Western weapons transfers to Ukraine, CNN reported.

US service members are also training Ukrainian troops in Poland, the official said, according to CNN.

Due to security concerns, it is highly unlikely that Biden would travel to Ukraine as part of this trip, officials were quoted as saying.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Thursday is day 337 of Russia’s full-scale war against its southern neighbour.
