WASHINGTON (Reuters) – WA Ukrainian delegation met on Wednesday with senior representatives of President-elect Donald Trump, a source familiar with the meeting said, as Ukraine seeks support from the incoming team in its war to repel Russian invaders.
The Ukrainian delegation was led by Andriy Yermak, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The group met in Washington with Trump’s choice for White House national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and his Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, the source said, without providing details.
The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment about the meeting.
Trump has vowed to bring about a negotiated end to the nearly three-year-old conflict between Ukraine and Russia, but has thus far not provided details.
The United States announced on Monday it will send Ukraine $725 million worth of missiles, ammunition, anti-personnel mines and other weapons as President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration seeks to bolster Kyiv in its war with Russian invaders before leaving office on Jan. 20.
