Biden heads to Poland to observe refugee crisis | First Thing

US president will visit country where 2 million refugees have fled crisis on its border. Plus, why so many pets are being forced to diet

Good morning.

Joe Biden is due to see first-hand the scale of the Ukrainian refugee crisis today when he visits Poland, which has taken in more than 2 million people fleeing Russian forces across the border.

What did Zelenskiy say about sanctions? You blocked Nord Stream 2. We are grateful to you. And rightly so. But it was also a little late. Because if it had been in time, Russia would not have created a gas crisis. At least there was a chance," he said.

What's happening on the ground? Russia is running out of precision-guided munitions and it is more likely to rely on so-called dumb bombs and artillery, a senior Pentagon official said last night, Reuters reported.

What else is happening? US volunteers have reached the frontline of the war in Ukraine.

Who else is listed as defendants in the suit? Among them are the ex-FBI officials James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page; the former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of a famous dossier on Trump's links to Moscow; Jake Sullivan, now Biden's national security adviser; and John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chair.

What does the lawsuit say Clinton and co did? Trump's new lawsuit claims that in the run-up to the 2016 election Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot - one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation's democracy".
