رحلة بايدن السرية إلى كييف
February 21, 2023 - زيارة الرئيس جو بايدن إلى أوكرانيا كانت أول زيارة يقوم بها زعيم أميركي إلى منطقة حرب خارج سيطرة الجيش الأميركي.
Meticulously planned over several months by a tight circle of key advisers, Biden’s visit was described as “unprecedented in modern times” by his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, on the grounds that it was the first time a US president had visited “the capital of the country at war where the United States military does not control the critical infrastructure”.
Sullivan, who accompanied the president, said the trip had “required a security, operational, and logistical effort from professionals across the U.S. government to take what was an inherently risky undertaking and make it a manageable level of risk.”
