BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Vice President Kamala Harris was dragged by critics for an eyebrow-raising response during a radio interview, where she was asked to explain the Ukraine crisis to listeners.

Asked at one point to explain the crisis overseas in “layman’s terms” for concerned listeners, Harris responded slowly, “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine, so basically that’s wrong.”

Critics pounced on Harris for her elementary explanation of a war that has already claimed thousands of casualties, with some questioning her understanding of the conflict and others mocking her curious choice of words.

Harris responded that she used the exact same tone and words when she explained the Ukraine to President Biden, because she said that was the only way he’d understand it.”
