According to the tracked timeline, the sequence unfolded as follows: on Sunday, a U.S. Air Force C-32 carried the president from his starting point, followed by a 5:13 p.m. arrival at Ramstein. A 6:29 p.m. departure for Rzeszów was succeeded by a 7:57 p.m. arrival there, and an 8:12 p.m. departure toward Przemyśl. By 9 p.m., a train service from Przemyśl reportedly connected toward Kyiv, with the journey entering a new phase late that evening. On Monday, around 8:00 a.m., Kyiv was reported as the arrival point for the motorcade and accompanying personnel’s security perimeter was established.

It emerged that the journalists who accompanied the American president were bound by secrecy agreements. Those traveling with the president were required to take oaths and to surrender their devices, with phones returned only after they reached Kyiv. Officials reportedly instructed the reporters to refrain from disclosing timing or route specifics until the White House provided formal clearance. This practice reflects the high level of sensitivity surrounding executive travel and national security considerations during critical diplomatic missions.

While the public learns about the major milestones of such a mission, the granular details—timing, transit modes, and interim stops—are carefully shielded to protect personnel, assets, and partners on the ground.
