Trump wants to bring Ukraine and the Russian Federation to negotiations – the nominee for the post of national security adviser Volz about the end of the war

Newly elected US President Donald Trump plans to bring both sides to the negotiating table and thus end Russia’s war against Ukraine, Mike Waltz, nominated for the position of presidential adviser on national security, said in a commentary for the Voice of America.

“The president made it clear that he wants to bring both sides to the negotiating table. He is focused on ending the war, not continuing it,” Waltz said after Republicans met with Trump on Wednesday, November 13.

He added that the vision of the security policy for Ukraine depends on the newly elected US President Donald Trump.

“It’s not up to me, it’s up to the president,” the Republican said.

Mike Waltz will replace Jake Sullivan as national security adviser. The national security adviser is a powerful position in the presidential administration, which, however, does not require confirmation by the Senate. According to Reuters, in this role, Waltz will be responsible for informing Trump about key national security issues and coordinating with various agencies.

On November 12, Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint former special-purpose officer, Republican congressman from Florida Mike Waltz to the role of national security adviser in his future administration.

During the election campaign, Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine soon. At the same time, various media sources claim that Trump does not have a clear plan – apart from the general vision that the conflict should end, probably due to concessions from both sides.

The position of the current US administration is that any decisions about the terms of peace with Russia should be made by the authorities of Ukraine. The United States is ready to help Ukraine in the fight against aggression “as much as necessary”, but without the direct participation of the American military in hostilities.
