Harris meets with Ukrainian refugees, US embassy staff in Poland
As part of her trip to Poland, Vice President Kamala Harris met with 7 people who fled the Russian invasion of Ukraine and some members of the U.S. embassy staff Thursday to discuss their experiences.
"I have invited in these very important people to join me for a conversation about their experiences, and also their thoughts about what we can do the United States and our allies in this region and around the world to support the many people that have been displaced through the necessity to flee Ukraine and the harm that it represents at this moment," Harris said to the group.

Harris thanked the group for meeting with her to share their experiences.
"The conversation we will have this afternoon will help inform me, the President of the United States, and the American people about what you have experienced, so that we can best support you and your family," Harris said to the group.
Before the press was ushered out, Harris sought to reassure the participants.
"We are here to support you and you are not alone. And I know there's so much about the experience that you've had that has made you feel alone. You are not alone," she pledged.
