On this day, Candidate Sim wrote on Facebook, "Just like the independence fighters and patriots of our Republic of Korea who called for self-reliance, independence, peace, and human rights over 100 years ago, the citizens of Ukraine are fighting with their whole bodies against the invasion war that seeks to take away their sovereignty."


Candidate Sim said, "Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian president who has been called a novice president, is wearing a military uniform and holding a gun himself to defend the capital," adding, "Seeing that, as a presidential candidate of the Republic of Korea, I naturally felt deeply moved."


She continued, "No one can dare to take away the sovereignty of a country or destroy peace and freedom. Invasion wars are a clear enemy of humanity," emphasizing, "That was precisely the spirit of the March 1st Independence Movement and the soul of the Korean Provisional Government."


She explained, "Our Republic of Korea has a duty to contribute to universal human rights, freedom, equality, and peace and coexistence," adding, "This is because our Republic of Korea was able to stand tall as a democratic republic through such global dedication."


Candidate Sim said, "Citizens of the world are united in ordering Russian President Putin to immediately stop the war. President Putin must promptly heed the solemn command of the global citizens," and added, "Humanity has written a history where peace and human rights ultimately prevail. The Republic of Korea is the very proof of that hope."



She concluded, "I, Sim Sang-jung, will also devote my utmost efforts to ensure that the Republic of Korea becomes a proud advanced nation contributing to world peace and human rights."
