US Vice President Kamala Harris has slammed suggestions that Kyiv should cede territory for the sake of peace with Moscow as "dangerous and unacceptable."
The Democratic presidential nominee spoke alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as she unleashed the veiled criticism of Republican candidate Donald Trump's controversial push for Ukraine to quickly cut a deal to end the war.
"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 forego security relationships with other nations," she said at a press conference in Washington.
"These proposals are the same of 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."
Her comments were a reminder of the high stakes for the war effort in this year's election.
Trump has criticised US assistance for Ukraine, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and blamed Zelenskyy for the ongoing bloodshed.
Trump said he will meet with Zelenskyy in New York on Friday after days of questions over whether the two leaders will sit down together.
He rejected Harris' criticisms and insisted that he only wants to stop the "horror show that's gone on."
Asked if Ukraine should give up territory, Trump said "we'll see what happens" and "we need peace."
