No political trip in this war year surpasses the symbolic impact of the US President’s visit to Kiev. Joe Biden’s train ride sends a powerful signal of support and audacity, a visit as a show of fortitude and chutzpah. The American President drives to a war zone, announces his trip to the Russian side beforehand and thus forces them to stand still – no one will risk the US President being shot at.
