WASHINGTON - US Vice-President Kamala Harris is expected to discuss Washington’s future support for Ukraine when she travels to a major European security conference in Germany next week, asMs Harris will travel to Munich, Germany, from Feb 16 to 18 to attend the Munich Security Conference as Ukraine, still waiting on promised longer-range Western missiles and battle tanks, readies itself for a new Russian offensive that could begin next week.
She will “make clear that this fight is part of something bigger - the defence of international rules and norms and freedom and liberty,” according to the official. With US President Joe Biden’s support, Ms Harris has tried to carve out a foreign policy niche during the first two years of the administration, meeting foreign leaders at the White House and shoring up relations with non-Chinese nations that border the South China Sea.
Support for Ukraine has included US$29.3 billion worth of pledged security assistance and an unprecedented use of economic sanctions, including an oil price cap, which have severely impacted Moscow.
