US Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, on March 9-11, her office announced Friday.
“Her visit will demonstrate the strength and unity of the NATO Alliance and U.S. support for NATO’s eastern flank allies in the face of Russian aggression,” a statement from her deputy press secretary said. “It will also highlight our collective efforts to support the people of Ukraine.”
CNN reported earlier today, that Harris was expected to travel to Poland next week, a White House official told CNN, as the Biden administration continues to show support for Ukraine and its eastern NATO allies while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters a dangerous new phase.
The visit will take place on the heels of Harris’ latest international travel to the Munich Security Conference, where she met with US allies and partners including Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Harris also spoke over the phone with several Eastern European leaders on Tuesday, including Poland’s and Romania’s prime ministers.
