U.S. President Joe Biden is considering a trip to Europe around Feb. 24, the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine next month, sources told three NBC News reporters, News.ro reported. This was reported by CNN with reference to two officials of the US administration.

NBC reports that several countries, including Poland, are being considered for Joe Biden’s visit to Europe around the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In this regard, the USA may announce a new large package of military aid to Ukraine, NBC sources said.

The White House is mulling ways Biden could mark the anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine, three administration officials and a person familiar with the discussions told NBC. The goal, they said, is for Biden to use the moment to draw attention to Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s brutal military campaign and reaffirm U.S. solidarity with the Ukrainian people as the conflict moves into a new phase.

One of the goals of Biden’s trip to Europe next month, if accepted, would be to create a moment as symbolically significant and strategically effective as his visit.

Among the ideas being considered for the trip is for Joe Biden to give a speech that would reflect this critical moment in the war and emphasize the need to remain united going forward, the person said.

In March of last year, when Biden came to Europe a month after the Russian invasion, he gave a speech also in Poland in which he said – causing controversy – that Putin “cannot stay in power”, NBC reporters remind News.

Journalists who learned this information also subscribe to another exclusive article on the NBC News website, which tells about how the Biden administration decided to send 31 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine. They say that Biden, like the Pentagon, initially rejected the idea, but changed his mind thanks to a solution proposed by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and later by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark. Milley and Defense Department Chairman Lloyd Austin came up with a plan.

Recall that President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that the United States will send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a larger effort by European allies to demonstrate that they are still united against the Russian invasion.
