As Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his unrelenting assault on Ukrainian citizens, committing war crimes through the use of cluster bombs and attacking nuclear sites in the country, President Joe Biden is headed home to Delaware for the weekend.
"In the evening, the President will travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where he will remain over the weekend," the White House daily schedule states.
Biden also went to Delaware last weekend for a family funeral. He has spent 35 weekends at home since taking office in January 2021.
Meanwhile, Congress is preparing an emergency package for Ukraine.
