Pence was in Poland on a trip that President Trump was originally scheduled to take, but had to back out of due to Hurricane Dorian.

Trump faced criticism from U.S. allies just one week earlier over his call at a Group of 7 (G-7) summit in France that Russia should be allowed to rejoin the group.

Russia was ousted from then G-8 over its annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014, largely seen as an illegal move.

Pence took a different tone than the president, suggesting the U.S. will support its allies.

"We know there is still more work to do on many fronts, because despite years of negotiations Russian forces still illegally occupy large parts of Georgia and Ukraine," Pence said, based on the Reuters report.

“The truth is Moscow seeks to divide our alliance, now with its oil and gas reserves. Poland has taken a strong stand as we have to promote energy independence and security.”
