The White House said on Monday that US President Joe Biden will go to Warsaw, Poland’s capital, to discuss the current Ukraine situation with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda. He will also meet with NATO and other European allies for urgent talks.

Biden will speak about how the United States, along with its allies and partners, is dealing with the humanitarian disaster that Russia’s unjustifiable and unprovoked attack on Ukraine has produced. Biden will fly to Brussels first, then to Poland on Friday to meet with leaders, according to press secretary Jen Psaki.

In a nearly month-long invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces are concentrating their fire on cities and trapped residents.

In the Ukraine situation, Poland is an important ally. Thousands of American troops are stationed there, and more people are fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. It became the face of numerous Ukrainian evacuations, notably those of Indians trapped in the war-torn country. Poland has been one of the most outspoken in its calls for fellow NATO allies to consider increasing their involvement in order to reduce the bloodshed.
