War Day 20: Kyiv Welcomes Visitors

European leaders visit Kyiv


Amazing. Visiting a besieged city in a war zone.

Three European prime ministers headed to Kyiv by train on Tuesday for the first visit of its kind since war began…

That foreign leaders could attempt to visit the Ukrainian capital was a striking symbol of Ukraine's success so far in fending off an assault that Western countries believe was aimed at seizing Kyiv weeks ago.

… Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki…crossed the border with Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Janez Jansa of Slovenia.

The visit comes at a time when Ukrainian officials are playing up the hope the war could end sooner than expected, saying Moscow may be coming to terms with its failure to impose a new government on Kyiv by force.
