Kamala Harris says tensions in Ukraine could impact energy prices

There could be an indirect impact on energy prices paid by US consumers due to ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, US Vice President Kamala Harris said, adding that the US government is working to mitigate the effects.

In Munich, where he attended a security summit, Harris said the United States was taking “specific and appropriate steps” to prepare for any potential costs.

Harris also echoed President Joe Biden’s assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin had already made the decision to attack Ukraine. Russia denies planning the invasion.

The vice president told reporters that the United States would reassess its promised aid to Ukraine in the coming days.

The United States has already provided $1 billion in loan guarantees and provided $650 million in defense equipment and services to the country last year.
