Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed the United States' unwavering support for Ukraine during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington D.C. Harris emphasized that some individuals in the U.S. advocate for Ukraine to cede parts of its sovereign territory, which she equated to proposals made by Russian President Vladimir Putin. She categorically rejected these proposals, labeling them as dangerous and unacceptable, and clarified that they are not proposals for peace but for surrender. Harris stated that supporting Ukraine is in the U.S.' strategic interest and pledged to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war. Zelenskyy called for maintaining sanctions against Russia and urged for more arms to strengthen Ukraine's air defense. Additionally, the Biden administration announced an $8 billion military aid package for Ukraine.
