The President of the United States, Joe Biden, arrived on an unprecedented visit to Kiev.
It is his first trip to Ukraine since Russia began its conquest almost a year ago.
The photos distributed in social media showed Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, hosting his American counterpart in the centre of the capital, Kiev.
Although warning sirens were first heard, they did not report an attack.
Zelensky said Beden's visit “is an extremely important sign of support for all Ukrainian”.
Biden said he is in Kiev to confirm the US's steadfast commitment “to democracy, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine”.
When [Russian president, Vladimir] Putin began the invasion nearly a year ago, he thought Ukraine is weak and that the West is divided. He thought he could defeat us, but he was wrong”, Biden said.
He added that the US is preparing a new shipment of “critical equipment” to Ukraine, which, as he said, would include artillery and air surveillance radar ammunition.
The United States is one of the largest relief providers for the Ukrainian Army. Since the beginning of the Russian occupation on February 24th of last year, Washington has sent protection and logistics equipment worth tens of billions of dollars.
Below, some interesting photos of the American president's surprise visit to Ukraine:
