Pool has not seen POTUS today. We\u2019re headed to the hold location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, she wrote: \u201cPOTUS is golfing with his brother Jimmy, per the WH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few hours later, Biden rolled out. \u201cPool joined the president\u2019s motorcade outside Fieldstone Golf Club at 6:30 p.m. Motorcade is rolling,\u201d the reporter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 5,000 miles away, the first lady was sneaking into Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>First, Jill Biden visited a bus station in Kosice, Slovakia, which serves as a processing center for Ukrainians fleeing the war. She then moved to a border crossing between the two countries, where she visited a chapel and met with volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Pager, a White House reporter with The Washington Post, was traveling with the first lady of the United States (FLOTUS) and released this pool report after she had safely returned to Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNote: This pool report was under embargo until directions from the WH for security reasons,\u201d Pager wrote. \u201cFLOTUS\u2019 motorcade crossed the border into Ukraine at 2:41 p.m. (Slovakia time) for an unannounced visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFLOTUS exited her vehicle at 2:51 and met the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska. The two women hugged and FLOTUS gave her a bouquet of flowers. This is the first time Zelenska has appeared in public since Feb. 24, the date of the Russian invasion, per U.S. official. The official also said the two first ladies have exchanged correspondences in the last few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPool asked FLOTUS what it meant to make this visit: \u2018I wanted to come on Mother\u2019s Day. I thought it was important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop and this war has been brutal and that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pager asked Zelenska \u201cwhat FLOTUS\u2019 visit meant to her. She answered in Ukrainian and the following quotes are from a translator. \u2018First of all, I would like to thank you for a very courageous act. Because we understand what it takes for the US First Lady to come here during a war when the military actions are taking place every day, where the air sirens are happening every day even today.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
