Jean-Pierre added that Biden will meet Polish President Andrzej Duda to discuss their bilateral cooperation and support of Ukraine, and also meet with leaders of the Bucharest Nine. 

Quote: "In addition, President Biden will deliver remarks ahead of the one year anniversary of Russia’s brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, addressing how the United States has rallied the world to support the people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom and democracy," the White House spokeswoman added.

Background:

• Earlier, it became unofficially known that Biden is considering the possibility of coming to Europe before the anniversary of the start of the full-scale war, in order to use it as an opportunity to confirm US solidarity with Ukrainians and, thanks to personal communication, to strengthen unity between Western allies.
• There were also rumours that during this trip, Joe Biden may meet with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in Poland.
• Earlier, the office of the President of Poland confirmed that US President Joe Biden is planning a visit to the country "in the near future".
