White House weighs sending VP Harris to Poland, Romania as Ukraine war rages

Biden administration officials are discussing sending Vice President Kamala Harris to Warsaw and Bucharest in the coming weeks as Ukraine attempts to fight off an invasion by Russia.

Sources familiar with the conversations told The Hill on Thursday that the White House is considering dispatching Harris to visit troops stationed in Romania and potentially visit the country’s border with Ukraine to observe the humanitarian crisis there.

One source said the trip could happen in the coming weeks and added that there are no discussions about sending President Biden to Europe.

“A presidential visit is a heavier logistical lift,” the source explained to the outlet. “The vice president has a smaller footprint and is historically more nimble.”

While the administration has yet to announce any plans regarding a potential trip to eastern Europe, a White House official told The Post that Harris “has been deeply involved in the Administration’s engagement with allies and partners.”

Earlier this week, Harris spoke with the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania in separate calls to discuss the Russian attack and affirm the administration’s support for the Kyiv government and Washington’s NATO allies.

Are they hoping she’ll be some collateral damage?

Send her to talk to Putin.

“Now Vladimir, it’s not nice to invade your neighbors and kill them. How would you feel if they did that to you?”

She does have a good grasp of the situation…

Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.”

“It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”

Send her! They could probably use a little standup, little girl giggling comedy.

VP Harris: “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine, so basically that’s wrong.”

Just one heartbeat (or stroke) away....
