Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andriy Sybiha, said at a NATO meeting in Brussels on Wednesday that Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff, had made the visit for meetings that are “important for establishing relations, including with the leaders of the new administration.”
Mr. Yermak and Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, met on Capitol Hill on Wednesday with JD Vance, the vice president-elect, and Representative Mike Waltz of Florida, Mr. Trump’s pick for national security adviser, said a person with knowledge of the meeting who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Also present was a representative for Keith Kellogg, a retired lieutenant general who is the president-elect’s choice for envoy to Ukraine and Russia.
Mr. Yermak confirmed in a social media post late on Thursday that he had traveled to Washington, New York and Florida for two days of “meetings with key members” of Mr. Trump’s team, without identifying specific people.
He said he had also met with Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, and with senior members of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
