Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a GOP presidential candidate, on Friday made a surprise visit to Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in Kyiv, the nation’s capital.
During his meeting with Zelenskyy, Christie reiterated his support for Ukraine, according to a pool report, as the Republican Party becomes increasingly divided in its backing of U.S. aid to the war-torn country.
Christie, the second 2024 Republican presidential candidate to visit Ukraine, after former Vice President Mike Pence did so in June, said he hoped to get a firsthand look at the wartime atrocities that the country has experienced.
