Kamala Harris has hit out at opponents making "proposals for surrender" in Ukraine - making a thinly veiled criticism of Donald Trump.
The US vice president and Democratic candidate for president said some want Ukraine to strike peace with Russia by accepting neutrality and foregoing security relationships with other nations during a news conference with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Ukraine has stood up to Russia's aggression and today Kyiv stands free and strong. President Zelenskyy, I am clear," she said.
"Putin started this war and he could end it tomorrow if he simply withdrew his troops from Ukraine's sovereign territory."
