Yesterday February 20, 2023 Joe Biden visited Kiev in Ukraine. Because it is a war zone, the Americans asked the Russians for permission for Biden's visit. The Russians seem to have okayed Biden's visit but not to fly via Airforce 1 or to fly into Kiev.
So Biden had to fly from Washington to Germany on another US Airforce transport aircraft. Then from Germany Biden flew to Poland. Then from Warsaw (in Poland) Biden took a 10 hour train ride to Kiev.
The situation on the ground in Ukraine is getting very difficult for the Ukrainian troops. The most ridiculously un-strategic battle of "Bakhmut" is still raging after over EIGHT months. It has come to a point where the Russians have nothing left to blow up in Bakhmut that is of any strategic value.
For the past months the Russians have cleverly used 'Bakhmut' as a lure to suck in Ukrainian troop reinforcements, tanks, artillery and mechanised weapons to be destroyed by their artillery fire. This war in Ukraine has turned out to be a long range Russian artillery duel.
