Jill Biden surprisingly appeared in Ungvár (Uzhgorod), Transcarpathia, Ukraine today to meet Olena Zelenska, the wife of President Volodimir Zelenskiy.

A secret visit

According to ATV, Jill Biden made a lightning visit to Uzhgorod, a Transcarpathian city 27.5 kilometres away from the Hungarian border. There, she met the Ukrainian first lady. Interestingly, Ukrainians celebrate mother’s day today. The two first ladies visited a local school and met people who fled from East Ukraine because of the Russian invasion.

The press release about the visit highlights that Jill Biden’s visit demonstrates how high officials of the USA support Ukraine. They added that

the first lady’s visit was kept a secret for “understandable reasons”.

Moreover, the Ukrainian press was not invited, only the press office of the White House was present.

    Uzhhorod is almost on the Slovakian border (a 9 or 10 minute drive). Much nearer than the Hungarian border. Further, it is described as being in Western Ukraine by the international media which does not have this obsession with Transcarpathia.
