Ukraine got a big show of support from Western allies on Sunday with separate visits by Jill Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pop group U2 singer Bono and guitarist The Edge. The U.S. also sent Charges d’Affaires Kristina Kvien to Kyiv for a brief stay at the shuttered embassy in Kyiv to join in VE Day celebrations. Meanwhile Joe Biden stayed at the Biden’s Delaware home where he participated in a virtual G7 – Zelenskyy meeting Sunday morning before heading out for a round of golf.

Jill Biden’s visit capped off a Mothers Day themed trip to Romania and Slovakia where she visited Ukrainian refugees. Biden made an unannounced trip across the border Sunday to the town of Uzhhorod where she met Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska. It was reportedly the first time Zelenska had been seen in public since Russia’s war on Ukraine began on February 24.











Trudeau was in Kyiv to reopen the Canadian Embassy and to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trudeau also visited the Kyiv suburb of Irpin.









Bono and The Edge played a concert in a Kyiv subway station that serves as a bomb shelter. They also visited the liberated towns of Borodyanka, Irpin and Bucha where a Russian massacre of civilians took place while under occupation.
