Madrid — In a brief interview in central Madrid on Tuesday, first lady Dr. Jill Biden told CBS News that she is working with the spouses of other world leaders to highlight the plight of Ukrainian refugees.
"The first ladies of so many of the countries across the globe are committed," she said. "I've spoken to several of them, and they're committed to keep pushing this forward. This is Putin's war, and we need to keep supporting the people of Ukraine, no matter where they are."
Biden made the comments after visiting a center for Ukrainian refugees outside Madrid with Spain's Queen Letizia. They met with families who fled Ukraine months ago when bombings made it too dangerous for them to stay. The facility helps to connect the refugees to food, housing and jobs.
