Joe Biden: The White House decides which US representative will go to Kyiv

According to some reports, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken or Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin may go to Ukraine

President Biden said on Thursday that a decision is being made as to whether a White House official will be sent to Kyiv as a sign of U.S. support and in response to an earlier invitation to Joe Biden by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“We are making a decision [on this] right now,” Joe Biden said before leaving for North Carolina.

Persons in the White House administration familiar with the situation told Reuters on condition of anonymity that there is no talk of a visit to Ukraine by President Biden himself or Vice President Harris, but it could be US Secretary of State Blinken or Secretary of Defense Austin.

"If and when that happens, we want to provide [for this visit] maximum security," US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview with the Washington Economic Club.

Recall that earlier British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the presidents of Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania personally visited Kyiv.

Direct speech to the question whether the US is going to return to the oligarchs from the Russian Federation their assets, such as yachts, or use them as reparations: “Our goal is not to return them. Our goal is to use them better than in this way. ..

You can be sure our goal is not to sit still and then bring them back."

Details: At the same time, he added that he wants to be as careful as possible when answering this question.

He noted that discussions on this issue are ongoing in the White House.

Sullivan also commented on Biden's words, calling Russia's actions in Ukraine "genocide". According to him, it seems that Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to wipe Ukrainian identity from the face of the earth.

According to him, the war between Russia and Ukraine could continue for "months." Biden adviser predicts protracted conflict.

In addition, Sullivan said that the Biden administration has not yet decided whether the US will lift sanctions on Russia if it reaches an agreement with Ukraine.

Direct speech: "Much depends on the form and scope of this diplomatic agreement, and much depends on what the Ukrainians and the Europeans agree with us."

According to him, the United States does not plan to conclude an agreement with Russia behind the back of the head of the Ukrainians, under which she will receive a bunch of indulgences: “But if some measure of easing sanctions was built into some reliable diplomatic solution led by the Ukrainians, this is which we would gladly appreciate."

Meet the 78 years old High school graduate Ted Sams...

It was a joyfull moment for Ted Sams (78) and his family when he finally walked on stage to receive his high school diploma sixty years after he missed his 1962 graduation because of some teenage mischief and $4.80 (E3.40) overdue library fine he owed at his former school.

During his high school days, Ted and a friend were in a photography class when they were caught by the vice principal for photographing people without their consent and Ted was later suspended, leading to him missing the final exam and graduation. While he tried keeping up with his studies by attending summer school, Ted then found that he couldn't get his diploma because of the overdue library fine book.

“So I just walked away from it and said, 'Forget it',” he says.

In 2022, after much persuasion from his family Ted joined San Gabriel California High school in Los Angeles and got his high school diploma

Sams says he never expected to be back in high school 60 years later after he dropped out. He recounted how he would repeatedly complain to his children how a meagre $4.80 kept him from having a degree.

His daughter Sherry then suprised him by asking San Gabriel High in Los Angeles for a reprint of his diploma so he can attend graduation.

Luckily for him, the school hasn't thrown away the diploma and It was kept in a box, in senior archives.

In 27 May, Ted received an invitation from the school to be part of the graduation ceremony. The ceremony was attended by his wife and five children.

Even though it has been a long hard road, Ted says attaining his diploma has been a great achievement for him and the graduation was one of the highlights of his life.

“Actually, when he walked and got his diploma, every person on that stage hugged him and then the whole class applauded for him,” Sherry says.

Although the $4.80 fine hasn't been paid, Ted is now a graduate of San Gabriel High School's class of 2022.
