Harris took aim at those who've floated Ukraine ceding territory to Russia.Vice President Kamala Harris meets with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Sept. 26, 2024, in the vice president's ceremonial office inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex.
"However, in candor, I share with you Mr. President, there are some in my country who would, instead, force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality and would require Ukraine to forego security relationships with other nations," Harris said.
Trump ratcheted up his criticism of Zelenskyy and Ukraine on Wednesday, calling Zelenskyy the "greatest salesman on Earth" and painting a picture of an "obliterated Ukraine." The top Republican on Capitol Hill, House Speaker Mike Johnson, did not meet Zelenskyy when he visited Capitol Hill earlier Thursday to meet with a bipartisan group of House lawmakers. Johnson told reporters he would not be in town, but if he had sat down with Zelenskyy would have aired grievances about his tour of an American munitions manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania.
"Our policy has not changed," Jean-Pierre said. "They're going to talk on a range of issues today. What we can say and what we can commit to is that we will continue to support Ukraine as they continue their fight against Mr. Putin's aggression, into Ukraine. And so that is our commitment, that's what the president is focused on."
