Trump has recognized this reality - Waltz considers it unrealistic for Ukraine to return all territories occupied by Russia
Mike Waltz, an adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump, said that the war in Ukraine should end diplomatically. He believes that the scenario in which Ukraine regains control of all the territories occupied by Russia is unrealistic.
A representative of the Trump team said this in an interview with ABC News on Sunday, January 12, Censor.NET reports.
"Everyone knows that this has to be resolved diplomatically. I don't think it's realistic to say that we're going to drive every Russian off every inch of Ukrainian soil, including Crimea. President Trump has recognized that reality, and I think it's a significant step forward that the rest of the world recognizes that reality," Waltz said.
The Trump adviser says it is now time to move on.
"Now let's move on - how not to escalate this conflict, how not to allow it to escalate, how not to drag the whole world into it," he added.
Waltz also said that in order to reach an agreement in the war, the front line in Ukraine needs to be stabilized. He believes that Ukraine should lower the age for mobilization.
