EXCERPT:

LEDERMAN: “The White House saying they are going to release more information about the backstory of how this all was able to happen and how they safely pulled this off, once it's safe to release those details, which may be an indication that the President is still making his way out. But we are in the meantime, learning some new details just in the last minute or so about how this came together, with White House Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer saying that this trip was planned meticulously over a course of months. And the National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, just told reporters that the White House gave Russia a heads up about the fact that President Biden was going to be going to Ukraine, that they told him a matter of hours ahead of time, they told the Russians that Biden would be in the Ukrainian capital.”
