Harris Supports War Crimes Investigation and Affirms Commitment to NATO
Vice President Harris on Thursday affirmed U.S. commitment to the NATO alliance and its collective defense during a trip to Poland amid Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, and also voiced support for a war crimes investigation into Russia over its strikes on civilian areas.
“The United States commitment to Article 5 is ironclad,” Harris said at a news conference in Warsaw following a meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda. “The United States is prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory. The United States takes seriously that an attack against one is an attack against all.”
Harris also announced that two Patriot missile-defense systems that the U.S. had promised to send to Poland had been delivered. And she said that the U.S. would contribute $50 million through the United Nations food program to assist with humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
