.Mike_Pence traveled to Ukraine on Thursday, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky. He became the first GOP presidential candidate to visit Ukraine and meet with its leader.
Pence's trip, which reportedly included stops in Moshchun, Bucha, and Irpin — three cities Russian forces occupied, and where they allegedly committed widespread war crimes — came at a crucial time in Kyiv's counteroffensive due to infighting within Russia's ranks. He also received a briefing from Ukrainian officials on the current situation in Ukraine and he visited St. Andrew's Church and Pyervozvannoho All Saints.
Pence, while he was in Ukraine, was briefed on alleged human rights violations. This included the abductions of thousands of Ukrainian children to Russian reeducation camps, according to an adviser. Pence also participated in a short commemoration ceremony for defenders of Ukraine who lost their lives during the defense and liberation of Moshchun and laid flowers at the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine at St. Michael's Cathedral.
