Biden in Poland to reinforce support for Ukraine in its war against Russia
US President Jo Biden is in Poland after a surprise trip to Kyiv, to reinforce US support for Ukraine almost a year after Russia's invasion began.
After a surprise visit to Kyiv in a public show of support for Ukraine, US President Joe Biden has moved on to Poland, where he is expected to make a speech later thanking the nation for their steadfast support for the war effort in Ukraine. Poland is one of the staunchest opponents of Vladimir Putin. The country's deputy foreign minister told Newsday that to prevent Russia targeting other nations, NATO needs to present a united front in help for Ukraine.
As the one year anniversary of the war approaches, President Vladimir Putin is also keen to control the narrative both at home and abroad. So what we can expect from his state of the nation speech later today in Moscow?
And another terrifying night for people in the Turkish earthquake zone - renewed tremors sent people fleeing from buildings on Monday evening.
