President Biden plans to go to Poland later this month to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in keeping with a report.
The 80-year-old president is predicted to make the trip to the Nato ally near the tip of February, in keeping with NBC News.
But sources cautioned the news outlet that the trip hasn’t been finalized and plans could change.
It’s unknown if the president will make any additional stops on the expected trip.
Poland shares a roughly 330-mile-long border with Ukraine.
Several European leaders have used the Ukraine-Poland border as the purpose of entry for travel into the besieged nation, embarking on long train rides to the capital of Kyiv to satisfy with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Biden has yet to go to the war-torn country.
Last month, NBC reported that the White House was mulling ways Biden might mark the anniversary of the conflict that has killed hundreds of Ukrainian civilians and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
In January, Biden agreed to send the Ukrainian military 31 US Abrams tanks, a move which the administration had previously opposed.
Over the weekend, the Polish president’s foreign policy adviser said that the federal government was readying for an upcoming visit by the US commander-in-chief.
“We already know needless to say that President Joe Biden will respond positively to President Duda’s invitation and can come to Poland,” Marcin Przydacz said on Polish TV, in keeping with Reuters.
“We’ve got agreed with the American side that we’ll announce the date of this visit in the end, but I can assure that it is going to be sooner relatively than later,” he added.
The report on Biden’s potential travel plans comes as Vice President Kamala Harris’ office confirmed on Monday that she’s going to make a February trip to Germany on the eve of the Ukraine war’s milestone.
