U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris mentioned that U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration stood able to help Ukraine in its struggle with Russia for “as long as it takes” and would push for Russia to pay damages to Ukraine following the tip of the struggle.

“We will continue in our efforts to secure a just and lasting peace. We will work to make sure Russia pays damages to Ukraine,” she mentioned at a joint information convention with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on the annual Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

Her feedback come because the U.S. political world battles over how and whether or not to face as much as Russia, notably after Washington has accredited greater than $110 billion in defence help for Ukraine, and Biden’s request for an additional $60 billion for Kyiv is stalled within the U.S. Congress.

“President Biden and I will continue to work to secure the resources and weapons you need to succeed,” she mentioned. “We will be with you for as long as it takes,” she added.
