U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden arrived in Kyiv on Jan. 16 for his last visit in office. He held closed meetings with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.

Biden’s visit followed that of U.S. senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Amy Klobuchar at the end of 2016, in underscoring U.S. support for Russian sanctions over Ukraine and the country’s fight against corruption.
