Kyiv • UNN
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said that proposals to give Ukraine's territories to Russia are capitulation, not peace. She reaffirmed her unwavering support for Ukraine and emphasized the importance of protecting democratic values.
Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that some people in the United States are forcing Ukraine to give up its territories to Russia, but these proposals are very similar to those of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and are not proposals for peace - they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable. Harris said this during a meeting with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UNN reports.
Some in our country are trying to force Ukraine to give up significant territories, and are also demanding that Ukraine agree to neutrality and abandon its security ties with other countries. These proposals are very similar to Putin's proposals. But they are not proposals for peace - they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable
She declared her unwavering support for Ukraine and that she would make every effort to ensure that Ukraine wins this war.
"We continue to fulfill our role as a global leader. We must cooperate with our allies and partners. We must defend democratic values and stand up to aggressors. The American people know very well what freedom and independence mean. Putin's aggression is not only an attack on the people of Ukraine, it is also an attack on fundamental concepts such as sovereignty and territorial integrity," Harris added.

US vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance revealed details of Trump's plan to end the war in Ukraine. The plan includes the creation of a demilitarized zone and Ukraine's refusal to join NATO.
Subsequently, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on Donald Trump's alleged "peace plan," which was recently revealed by Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. According to Zelenskyy, its implementation could threaten a global conflict.
"His message seems to be that Ukraine has to make a sacrifice. This brings us back to the question of the price and who will pay it. The idea that the world should end this war at the expense of Ukraine is unacceptable," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
