US First Lady Jill Biden is set to travel to Romania and Slovakia later this week to meet Ukrainian refugees, APA reports citing USA Today.

She is due to spend Sunday - which is Mother's Day in the US - with mothers and children displaced by the conflict to Slovakia.

Her trip represents the latest show of support for Ukraine from high-level American representatives - following Sunday's unannounced visit to Kyiv from Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

During Biden's journey to eastern Europe, from 5-9 May, she is also due to meet US service personnel and diplomats, as well as humanitarian workers and teachers.
