In an interview with CBS News, US Vice President Kamala Harris said that negotiations with Russia on the war in Ukraine should take place with the participation of Kyiv. She emphasized that Ukraine should be able to express its opinion regarding its future. Harris also noted that it is impossible to conduct serious negotiations without the participation of the Ukrainian side.
She categorically rejected the possibility of a meeting with Russian President Putin, arguing that without Kyiv's participation there is no point in holding bilateral negotiations. The Vice President emphasized the need to support Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression and avoid capitulation to it.
Harris also emphasized the importance of respecting the UN Charter in the context of the peace process and expressed her opinion on Ukraine's possible membership in NATO. She noted that they support Ukraine’s ability to defend itself from aggression from Russia.
Harris has a slight 2-point lead among likely voters, according to NPR/PBS/Marist polls. Source: nbcnews.
Recent news reports suggest that Harris may change his policy towards Ukraine if he wins.
