According to RIA Novosti, the US embassy in Moscow informed Russian officials of President Biden's visit to Kiev to avoid any perception of provocative connotations. 

Earlier today, President Biden arrived in Kiev for an unheralded visit marking his first trip to Kiev since the break out of the war. Biden held a meeting with his counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky at the St. Michael Cathedral in Kiev.

Afterward, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan assured that Russian authorities were informed of the visit a few hours before departure for deconfliction purposes. However, Sullivan did not provide any further information about the objective of the meeting due to its sensitive nature.
