Harris' forays into international affairs have faced renewed scrutiny since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
Vice President Kamala Harris shakes hands with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting on the sideline of the Summit on peace in Ukraine, near Lucerne, Switzerland, on June 15, 2024.n the middle of February 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Europe for a critical mission on the world stage. Nearly 200,000 Russian troops stood at the borders of Ukraine, and their invasion would mark one of the greatest challenges in decades to the U.S.-led international order.
The message she delivered was not entirely welcome, and the impression she made on the Ukrainians was mixed. “Kamala Harris said the attack was unavoidable,” recalls Oleksiy Reznikov, who attended the meeting in his role as Ukraine’s defense minister at the time. “What President Zelensky said to that was: I get it. Our intelligence also sees this information.” But he and Harris could not agree on the appropriate response.

Asked about this, the White House official noted that Vice President Harris traveled extensively in her efforts to rally European allies and support the Ukrainians in their war against Russia. Soon after the invasion started, she visited Poland and Romania to meet with European leaders and U.S. military personnel on NATO’s eastern flank “to reinforce our deterrence and defense posture,” the official said.
