US President Joseph Biden will travel to Poland on Friday to discuss the international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine that has sparked a “humanitarian and human rights crisis”, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said late on Sunday.
Biden will travel to Warsaw where he will hold a bilateral meeting with President Andrzej Duda, the White House said.
Over 2 million refugees have entered Poland from Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, the Polish border guard said on Friday.
Biden’s Poland trip will come a day after he meets in Brussels with Nato Allies, G7 leaders and EU leaders to discuss international efforts to support Ukraine after Russia’s invasion, the White House said.
The White House also said Biden will host a call with President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Mario Draghi of Italy, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the UK to discuss their coordinated responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
