First lady Jill Biden, in Eastern Europe to show American support for its NATO allies, made a surprise visit to Ukraine Sunday, where she met with that nation's first lady.

Biden's motorcade crossed into Ukraine from Slovakia, where earlier in the day she toured refugee aid stations.

In Ukraine, she visited a public school in the city of Uzhhorod, where she met privately with the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, for about half an hour.
