Only Putin was given a heads-up. How Biden snuck into a war zone
Joe Biden’s surprise visit to Ukraine was the first time in modern history that a US president has visited a war-zone outside the control of the US military.
President Joe Biden’s motorcade slipped out of the White House about 3.30am (7.30pm AEDT) on Sunday. No big, flashy Air Force One for this trip – the president vanished into the darkness on an Air Force C-32, a modified Boeing 757 normally used for domestic trips to smaller airports.
The next time he turned up – 20 hours later – it was in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
