WASHINGTON: Vice President Kamala Harris will attend the international Ukraine summit in Switzerland this weekend, where she will meet with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and address world leaders.
She will stress that the outcome of the war with Russia affects the entire world, a US official said, and push for a maximum number of countries to back the notion that Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is a violation of the UN Charter’s founding principles and that Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected.
Harris, who will spend less than 24 hours at the gathering in Lucerne, Switzerland, will be standing in for President Joe Biden at the event. The president will be just ending his participation at the G7 summit in Italy and returning to the United States to attend a fundraiser for his re-election campaign in Los Angeles.
