๐จ๐จ Harris says it was she who โconvincedโ Zelensky of inevitable war with Russia
Former US VP Kamala Harris said she was tasked to convince Zelensky of the imminent outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, something he didn't want to admit despite "US intelligence," according to her โ107 Daysโ memoir seen by Russian media.
๐ธ At some point, Zelensky asked Harris what she thought he should do, and the ex-US VP advised him to "get his people ready," the book alleges.
๐ธ The book also reveals Kamala had a one-on-one conversation with Zelensky in February 2022 at the Munich Security Conference.
๐ธ Harris held her seventhโand finalโmeeting with Zelensky in late September 2024, 40 days before the beginning of the US election. At the time, their relationship took the shape of what Harris described as "trusting friendship."
