Points of attention
- The US vice president expressed support for Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian aggression and noted that success in ending the war depends on compliance with the UN charter.
- Kamala Harris reacts to Trump's statements of support for Ukraine, pointing out the importance of consistent actions and certainty in resolving the conflict in Eastern Europe.
- The possible presidential election in the USA in 2024 increases interest in the position of the candidate from the Democratic Party, as most experts believe that Harris's victory will be beneficial for Ukraine.
Harris refused bilateral talks with Putin
In an interview for the "60 Minutes" program, Harris, who is a candidate for the post of the US president from the Democratic Party, emphasized that "the future of Ukraine must be determined by Ukraine itself."
She also emphasized the importance of observing the UN Charter in peace negotiations to end Russian aggression.
There will be no success in ending this war without Ukraine's participation and compliance with the UN charter, Harris said.
Regarding Ukraine's possible membership in NATO, Harris avoided a direct answer, saying that this issue will be considered if and when the appropriate moment comes. Currently, according to her, the US supports Ukraine's ability to defend itself against unprovoked Russian aggression.
These are all questions we will deal with if and when it gets to that point. Right now, we support Ukraine's ability to defend itself against unprovoked Russian aggression.

Harris also responded to Donald Trump's claims that Putin would not start a war if he were president. She noted that if Trump headed the White House, "Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now."
He says he can finish it on the first day. Do you know what it is? "It's about surrender," Harris said.
US presidential election
Americans will vote for the next head of state on November 5, 2024. They will choose between former president and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump and US Vice President, Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris.
Most experts agree that the victory of a democrat is beneficial to Ukraine. She publicly supports our country and promises to help in the future.
Trump, on the other hand, made ambiguous statements regarding support for Ukraine. A number of experts and politicians believe that he may stop helping Kyiv.
Trump has repeatedly said that he will end the war in Ukraine in a day. However, he never once said exactly how he would do it.
