US First Lady Jill Biden has arrived in Eastern Europe on a four-day trip intended to reaffirm the US commitment to Ukraine.
Biden will meet national leaders and US troops, as well as displaced Ukrainian parents, children, educators and aid workers in Romania and Slovakia.
She began her visit on Friday by greeting and serving food to troops stationed at a Romanian air base.
On Sunday, she is expected to spend Mother’s Day with refugee mothers and their children in Kosice, a border city in eastern Slovakia.
The visit marks another high-profile diplomatic engagement by the US in the region, following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Ukraine last week.
President Biden visited Poland in March.
