Russia criticizes Kamala Harris’ remarks, here’s what she said

As U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris stood against Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov criticized her “unfriendly” remarks towards Russia. Harris had previously condemned Russia’s actions as “gruesome” and “cruel,” highlighting war crimes committed in Ukraine.

‘Gruesome and cruel’

With evidence-backed claims, Harris detailed Russia’s atrocities like murder, torture, and deportation of Ukrainian civilians. International arrest warrants were issued for Russian officials, including President Putin, for forced deportations of Ukrainian children.

‘Unprovoked’

Harris called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “unprovoked” and “imperialist” despite Russia’s justifications for the war. As the conflict intensified, Putin admitted to his intentions to “return” Ukraine to Russian territory.

‘A failure’

Harris declared Russia’s invasion an “utter failure” as Russia’s goals of swift victory backfired. The conflict revealed Putin’s ambitions to annex Ukraine, which faced global condemnation and resistance.

‘Brutal’

Amid ongoing brutality and war crimes, Harris expressed outrage at Russia’s aggression, highlighting tragic incidents like beheadings, human shields, and attacks on civilian infrastructure. Despite challenges, Harris remained committed to supporting Ukraine’s recovery.
