'As long as it takes': Kamala Harris pledges continued support to Ukraine –video

Vice-president Kamala Harris said Joe Biden's administration stood ready to support Ukraine for 'as long as it takes' and would push for Russia to pay damages to Ukraine when the war ends. 'We will continue in our efforts to secure a just and lasting peace. We will work to make sure Russia pays damages to Ukraine,' she said at a joint news conference with Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, at the annual Munich Security Conference on Saturday. Her comments come as the US political world battles over how and whether to stand up to Russia, particularly after Washington has approved more than $110bn in defence assistance for Ukraine, and Biden's request for another $60bn for Kyiv is stalled in the US Congress
