This was told to reporters by the representative of the State Department.

“The visit of the Secretary of State to Ukraine is aimed at maintaining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country within internationally recognized borders and confirming the importance of strategic partnership,” TASS quotes him.

Also, the visit is associated with "support for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression and misinformation," the US Foreign Ministry noted.

Earlier it became known that Pompeo and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will hold a meeting in Kiev on January 3.
