Vice President of the United States, presidential candidate of the United States from the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris, during a meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, assured of continued support for Ukraine.

“I’ve been proud to stand with Ukraine, I will continue to stand with Ukraine, and I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war. To be safe, secure and prosperous, the United States must continue to fulfill the longstanding role of global leadership,” she said at a meeting with Zelenskyy.

She stressed that the United States must support its allies and partners, defend democratic values and resist aggressors.

“And we must stand for international order, rules and norms. Each of these principles is at stake in Ukraine. And that is why Ukraine’s fight matters to the people of America,” Harris noted.

According to her, the United States supports Ukraine “not because of charity, but because of our strategic interests.”
