American President Joe Biden's surprise visit on Monday morning to war-torn Kyiv began in the dead of night at a military airport hangar outside Washington USA.
At 4am (1200 EAT) Sunday, unbeknown to world media bodies, Washington government officials or American voters, the 80-year-old Democrat boarded an Air Force Boeing 757, known as a C-32.
