READ MORE: A day after crossing into Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian first lady OIena Zelenska and visit with schoolchildren, U.S. first lady Jill Biden met Monday with Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova in Bratislava to discuss what she said was "the support that the United States has for the people of Slovakia and Ukraine and how we stand together in helping the Ukrainian people."

Biden wrote in a guestbook that the United States and Slovakia share "a common devotion to helping those most in need."

She also told reporters that she had told President Biden after her visit to Ukraine "how much I saw the need to support the people of Ukraine" and about "the horrors and the brutality that the people I had met had experienced."

The United Nations says more than 5.8 million Ukrainians have fled the country since the Russian invasion began in late February, with nearly 400,000 going to Slovakia. (AFP/VOA)
