        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.
