Vice President Kamala Harris will lead the United States delegation to the Peace Summit in Switzerland.

The participation of Vice President Kamala Harris and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland instead of President Joe Biden does not mean a weakening of support for Ukraine. This was stated on Monday, June 3, by White House National Security Advisor John Kirby, the Washington Post writes.

That was his response to a question from reporters about whether he thought the US president was sending the wrong signal to the world by choosing to hold a fundraiser in California instead of the Peace Summit.

The White House national security spokesman responded that “there is no leader in the entire world who supports Ukraine more than Joe Biden.”

He also said Harris would attend the Peace Summit “because of our desire to be represented at this table,” and her presence would help demonstrate that “Ukraine has no stronger support than from the United States.”

“Regardless of who represents the United States at this summit, it cannot be argued that we have in any way moved away from supporting Ukraine,” Kirby said.

Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Lucerne, Switzerland, on June 15 to attend the Ukraine Peace Summit.
