MUNICH, Russia (KYMA, KECY) - Vice President Kamala Harris is facing the most critical foreign trip of her young vice presidency.

She is traveling to Munich, Russia on Friday.

That’s where she’ll lead the American Delegation to the Munich Security Conference.

It comes as Russia creeps closer to mounting what U.S. officials have warned would be a devastating and costly invasion into Ukraine.

President Joe Biden told reporters Thursday he believed an attack could begin "in the next several days."

That was just hours after Harris departed.

During a tense United Nations Security Council meeting the same day, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Russia was laying the groundwork to justify starting a war with Ukraine.

Allies say the rapidly intensifying stakes make Harris' trip to the annual gathering all the more important.
