"One of the things we’ll be looking for their perspectives on and the president will be interested in sharing his perspectives on is the long term security needs of Ukraine," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. Mr Biden met Mr Frederiksen earlier today, where the two leaders pledge to work together to address Russian aggression in Ukraine. The UK and Denmark have played a pivotal role in the joint international plan, which Mr Biden has only recently endorsed after months of resisting calls from Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The border area has come under a number of attacks in recent weeks, with Russia blaming Ukraine, Kyiv denying it's behind them, and two pro-Ukrainian militant groups, one being the RDK, claiming responsibility. A group of pro-Ukraine rebels known as the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK), has posted videos claiming to be in control of Nova Tavolzhanka in Russia's Belgorod region.
