NATO has become „stronger” and Russia „weaker” following Russian aggression in Ukraine, the US Vice President Kamala Harris said in Warsaw on Thursday. During her visit to Poland, she spoke about the „atrocities” committed by the Russian army’s invasion of the former Soviet republic. Kamala Harris met with the Polish President Andrzej Duda, who also denounced the „barbarism” of Russian forces, which is similar to genocide. The US Vice President is taking a short tour of Europe to send an additional signal of support to the states on the eastern flank of the North Atlantic Alliance against Moscow’s aggression. After Poland, Kamala Harris will arrive in Romania on Friday, where she will be received by President Klaus Iohannis. They will discuss Allied measures to strengthen NATO’s deterrence and defense posture on the East Flank, including the prospect of increasing the US and Allied military presence in Romania. They will also tackle the issue of coordination of the transatlantic community on adopting new sanctions against Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Bucharest is taking place in the context of the 25th anniversary of the launch of the bilateral Strategic Partnership.
