How Biden's trip to Ukraine was made in secret

Biden's secret trip to Ukraine was made via train from the Polish border, the New York Times reports.

The visit to Kyiv was made in secret due to security concerns.

Reports also say that Biden left Washington without notice after he and his wife Jill had dinner at a restaurant on Saturday night.

Officials had denied that Biden would visit Ukraine during his trip to eastern Europe.

The New York Times says: "Indeed, the White House on Sunday night released a public schedule on Monday showing the president still in Washington and leaving in the evening for Warsaw, when he had already started the trip."

Before the press conference, Joe Biden had a conversation with Volodymyr Zelensky and said that he "looks forward to discussing the world" with him.

He also praised Ukrainian citizens for their "heroic" fighting - despite their lack of military experience. He said: "What's amazing is that the people of Ukraine are ordinary citizens, hardworking, who never received military training, but the way they took a heroic step is something that the whole world is proud of."
