Biden Promises New Military Aid for Kyiv 'historic' visit

 US President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, to meet with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy on February 20th, almost a year to the day of Russia invading Ukraine. Biden pledged $500 million to new military aid in Ukraine, with artillery ammunition, anti-armour systems, and air surveillance radars being most of the tech we are giving. This visit from Biden is seen as a message to Russia, which they referred to as "the swamp". The US has been the main supporter of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, and they don't plan on letting up any time soon.
