Deputy Secretary Sherman tweeted on the morning of the same day, “Today in Seoul, I met with Deputy Minister Senik to discuss the United States' ongoing humanitarian, economic, and security support for Ukraine.”

She added, “I emphasized our firm support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Deputy Secretary Sherman is visiting Korea from the 6th to the 8th to attend the Korea-U.S.-Japan trilateral deputy foreign ministers' meeting. She previously stated that she discussed the Ukraine issue during the Korea-U.S. bilateral deputy foreign ministers' meeting and her courtesy call on Foreign Minister Park Jin held the day before.

Deputy Minister Senik is also visiting Korea for a three-day, two-night schedule starting from the 6th. He is the highest-ranking Ukrainian government official to visit Korea since Russia's invasion.

During his visit, he will discuss with Lee Do-hoon, 2nd Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, officials from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and representatives of domestic companies about expanding Korean government support for Ukraine and cooperation plans for post-war reconstruction.

Deputy Minister Senik told Korean reporters the day before, “We want the international community to provide weapons that can protect us from Russia's aggression,” emphasizing, “We hope this war ends as soon as possible, and the more military equipment we secure, the sooner the war will end.”
