The U.S. commitment to NATO and defense of its members is "ironclad" and America is deeply appreciative of Poland's efforts to aid refugees fleeing the carnage in Ukraine, Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday in Poland.
"This is a moment that requires severe and swift consequences for Russian aggression against Ukraine," Harris said during a joint news conference in Warsaw with Polish President Andrzej Duda. "What is at stake, this very moment, are some of the guiding principles around the NATO alliance."
The meeting came after the Biden administration rejected a plan from Poland to provide fighter jets to Ukraine.
