White House Looking To Send High Level Official To Kiev, Possibly Biden Or Harris

The White House is in current discussions on sending a senior admin official to Kiev, following UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's surprise trip last week. Also this week Polish President Andrzej Duda and the presidents of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia did the same, where they met with Volodymyr Zelensky. It appears the White House needs a 'symbolic' show of solidarity in Ukraine's capital too.
Biden has been under pressure to "do more" regarding Ukraine, after this week signing off on $800 million more in military aid to the country, and on Wednesday The New York Times reported that it remains highly unlikely that either Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris would be the ones to go.
Biden's advisors perhaps have his Warsaw trip in mind, which left them in a scramble to walk back certain statements that unnecessarily provoked Russia (such as telling 82nd Airborne troops they were about to enter the Ukraine conflict). There's also the obvious security nightmare entailed in a scenario of a sitting US president entering a war zone.
