As The Guardian writes, Harris was asked whether she would agree to sit down at the negotiating table with Russian dictator Putin. The Democrat said she would not do so on a bilateral basis, since she requires Ukraine to be involved in any negotiating process.
As for Harris's attitude to Ukraine's desire to receive an invitation to NATO, the politician did not give a clear answer, saying that “issues will be resolved if we get to that point.” Now, “the United States supports the stability of Ukraine and its defense against unprovoked aggression.”
Harris was also asked to say whether she considers Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “close ally” on the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel. However, the Vice President also avoided giving a clear answer, pointing to the “important partnership that definitely exists between the American and Israeli peoples.”
