Jill Biden Arrives In Europe, Will Meet With Ukrainian Refugees

On Sunday, the First Lady will spend time with Ukrainian and Slovakian mothers and children as they participate in Mother's Day activities.

For weeks, first lady Jill Biden has been transfixed by the news coming out of Ukraine, by the bombings and scenes of “parents weeping over their children’s broken bodies in the streets,” as she said in a recent speech.

Now Biden is using her second solo overseas trip to get an up-close look at the Ukrainian refugee crisis by visiting Romania and Slovakia, where she will spend Mother's Day meeting with displaced families in a small Slovakian village on the border with Ukraine.
