Watch as Joe Biden meets with Andrzej Duda in Poland, following his surprise trip to Ukraine on Monday.

The US president was expected to highlight the commitment of the central European country and other allies to Kyiv over the past year, as he met for discussions with his Polish counterpart.

Friday 24 February marks the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion and ahead of the important date, Mr Biden promised further military aid for Ukraine worth $500m.

“I thought it was critical that there not be any doubt, none whatsoever, about US support for Ukraine in the war,” Mr Biden said on Monday, as he stood with Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv before departing for Poland.

“The Ukrainian people have stepped up in a way that few people ever have in the past.”

He visited Poland on the same day that Vladimir Putin made his state-of-the-nation address in Russia on Tuesday morning.
