The American president said he didn’t want to “create problems for Ukrainians,” so it’s unlikely he’ll be in Ukraine by the end of the month.
Joe Biden is “likely” to visit Ukraine on his European tour this weekend, CNN quoted a statement by the US president as saying.
This is because he does not want to cause more suffering for Ukrainians, Biden himself explains. At the same time, the American leader said he considered Ukraine’s membership in the EU “likely”.
“It depends on the circumstances,” Biden said when asked if he still plans to visit Ukraine, adding that he doesn’t want to “create more difficulties for Ukrainians.”
Asked further if he was expected to travel there while he was in Germany and Spain for the G7 and NATO summits, Biden said: “It’s unlikely on this trip.”
Biden has not visited Ukraine since the country was under Russian invasion. Instead, he sent U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin as well as First Lady Jill Biden.
On whether he is sure that Ukraine will become a member of the European Union, Biden told reporters that, in his opinion, it is “likely.”
It will be recalled that US President Joe Biden called his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky and announced the provision of another billion dollars in security assistance to Ukraine.
