National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan traveled to Kyiv, Ukraine today to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, and senior Ukrainian officials to reaffirm the United States' unwavering commitment to Ukraine in its self-defense against Russia's brutal invasion. Sullivan underscored the multiple lines of U.S. support to Ukraine following yesterday's successful Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting, and he stressed the urgent need for the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the national security supplemental to meet Ukraine's critical battlefield needs. Sullivan discussed ongoing efforts with allies and partners to hold Russia accountable for its aggression and mitigate the economic impacts of Russia's war on Ukraine and around the world, and progress on anti-corruption and other key reforms needed to further Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration.
