US Vice President Kamala Harris said so-called Ukraine peace plans from “some” in the US are proposals for surrender and they are unacceptable.

Harris stated that on September 26, during her meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington, where he thanked her for participation in the first Peace Summit and presented the details of Ukraine’s Victory Plan.

"Nothing about the end of this war can be decided without Ukraine. However, there are some in my country who would instead force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality and would require Ukraine to forgo security relationships with other nations. These proposals are the same as those of Putin. And let us be clear: they are not proposals for peace. Instead, they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable," said Harris.

Harris and Zelenskyy met on Thursday following the Ukrainian President's meeting with US President Joe Biden. Zelenskyy then headed to the Capitol to meet with bipartisan groups of House and Senate members.
