It said in a statement that Harris would travel to Warsaw and the Romanian capital Bucharest from March 9 to 11.
Her visit "will demonstrate the strength and unity of the NATO Alliance and U.S. support for NATO’s eastern flank allies in the face of Russian aggression," the White House said. "It will also highlight our collective efforts to support the people of Ukraine."
During her meetings with Polish and Romanian leaders, Harris "will advance our close coordination in response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine," according to the statement.
"They will discuss our continuing support for the people of Ukraine through security, economic, and humanitarian assistance and our determination to impose severe economic consequences on Russia and those complicit in Russia’s invasion," the statement said.
It added that the meetings "will also focus on how the United States can further support Ukraine’s neighbors as they welcome and care for refugees fleeing violence."
Earlier this week, Harris discussed the West's collective response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine during a call with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, according to a previous statement by the White House.
