“As you know, we have imposed significant costs in response to Russia’s reinvasion of Ukraine, and we are working closely with our partners and allies in that regard,” the vice president said on Wednesday, who will meet with leaders of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators.

She warned that the “threat of a full-scale attack on Ukraine” still exists, and that the administration would “remain vigilant in watching what is happening there.”

“If Russia goes further,” Harris said, “we will impose more costs that will be swift and severe.”

According to CNN, Harris promised a “swift, severe, and united” response if Russia invaded Ukraine, assuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the US “stands with Ukraine.”

Harris sketched out retaliatory measures in a manner matching her previous work as a prosecutor, threatening “significant and unprecedented” economic repercussions in talks at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

“We will impose far-reaching financial sanctions and export controls. We will target Russia’s financial institutions and key industries. And we will target those who are complicit and those who aid and abet this unprovoked invasion,” Harris said at the security conference.
