#KamalaHarris also appeared to take a swipe at #Trump & his running mate #JDVance who've floated #Ukraine ceding territory to #Russia as part of negotiations to end the #war.
"However, in candor, I share with you Mr. President, there are some in my country who would, instead, force Ukraine to give up large parts of its #sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality & would require Ukraine to forego #security relationships w/other nations," #Harris said.
“The U.S. cannot & should not isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. #Isolation is not #insulation," MVP #KamalaHarris added.
#Zelenskyy spoke after #Harris, telling reporters, "We have to end this #war, we need a just #peace. We must protect our people: Ukrainian families, Ukrainian #children & everyone from #Putin's evil. We are grateful to America for supporting #Ukraine all along."

I'm ashamed...
Once the role model of peace and neutrality and the strong defender of the people fighting against powerful nations, the current government of Sweden has turned the country into a disgusting marionette of US and NATO with absolute no moral grounds to stand on.
I'm truly ashamed.
