President Biden is traveling to Brussels on Wednesday, a trip aimed at presenting a united front against Russia as its brutal war against Ukraine drags toward the one-month mark.

He plans to make announcements with allies and European partners about new sanctions for Russia and new humanitarian aid for Ukraine and the millions of refugees fleeing the fighting.

“The president is traveling to Europe to ensure we stay united, to cement our collective resolve, to send a powerful message that we are prepared and committed to this for as long as it takes,” said Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser.
