Washington, D.C.: Vice President Kamala Harris of the United States has issued a resolute stance, urging Washington to avoid political maneuvering that could jeopardize aid to Ukraine.
Harris’s remarks follow congressional discontent that resulted in the stalling of $60 billion in military assistance earmarked for war-torn Kyiv.
Addressing the issue alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Munich Security Conference, Harris reaffirmed the United States’ steadfast backing for Ukraine, condemning any attempts to impede vital aid.
Zelenskyy, acknowledging the significant financial and military support from the United States, expressed confidence in the enduring strategic partnership between the two nations.
During discussions about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Harris praised Zelenskyy’s courage and battlefield achievements over the past two years, emphasizing America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Ukraine’s democratic principles.
Harris stressed the imperative of maintaining consistent aid to Ukraine, underscoring the United States’ dedication to democracy and its enduring alliance with Ukraine.
Amid speculation about the potential impact of a reelection of former President Donald Trump on U.S. support for Ukraine, Zelenskyy indicated his willingness to acquaint Trump with the realities on the ground.
However, with the United States currently in an election year, uncertainties loom over the future of Ukrainian support, particularly with concerns that a return of Trump to office could alter the dynamics of aid provision.
Harris reiterated the importance of providing uninterrupted assistance to Ukraine, emphasizing the United States’ commitment to democracy and its strategic partnership with the country.
