Former vice president Mike Pence made an unannounced trip to Kyiv today where he met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. He’s the first 2024 GOP presidential candidate to travel to the country, and his visit overlaps with the start of Ukraine’s counteroffensive to seize territory occupied by Russia.

Pence also toured Moshchun, Bucha, and Irpin, three cities near Kyiv where Russian troops carried out grisly atrocities against civilians in spring 2022.
