Ukraine Delegation Meets Trump Transition Team

A Ukrainian delegation led by Andrii Yermak met with key members of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team in Washington, including Mike Waltz and Keith Kellogg, to discuss Ukraine's needs in the ongoing war with Russia. The meeting underscores Ukraine's efforts to secure military support while aiming for a sustainable peace amidst the conflict. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces achieved a rare victory by liberating a village in the Donetsk region, despite ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks. The U.S. has announced plans to provide Ukraine with $725 million in military aid before the Biden administration concludes. Additionally, Ukraine is set to receive $50 billion from frozen Russian assets, with other significant contributions from NATO allies. As diplomatic efforts increase, concerns linger about potential territorial concessions in peace negotiations, which could embolden adversaries like China and Iran.
