Right before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, US Vice President Kamala Harris urged President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to develop a plan in case he was killed or captured.

One of these actions included creating a succession plan to ensure stability "if you are captured or killed," Harris is quoted as saying.

In July, The Times published an article claiming that Harris rejected a Ukrainian proposal for preemptive sanctions against Moscow just days before Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

In September, Harris criticised proposals by her rival in the US elections, Donald Trump, regarding Ukraine, highlighting that they "align with Putin's proposals."]
