- Advisor to the head of the President's Office, Mikhail Podolyak, said that Russia had been warned through diplomatic channels about the official visit of US President Joe Biden to Kiev.
- Against the backdrop of the US President's visit to Ukraine, Russian propagandists began to come up with new nonsense. To create the appearance of their own importance, the mouthpieces of the Kremlin said that it was Russia that allowed Biden to come to Ukraine.
