U.S. first lady Jill Biden joined Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger to tour a border post on the Slovakian/Ukrainian border yesterday.
Biden spent her visit greeting aid volunteers and officials at the border and touring different areas of the post.
Earlier in the day, she met with Ukrainian refugees in eastern Slovakia. She spoke with refugee families, volunteer and local authority workers at a refugee center in the eastern Slovak city of Kosice. It’s one of the main transit points for over 400,000 Ukrainian refugees who have crossed the border to Slovakia since the Russian invasion started on Feb. 24.
Refugees from Ukraine described to Biden how they escaped to safety and struggled to come to terms with the war launched by Russia.
