Trump adviser Waltz proposed cease-fire in Ukraine during talks

The future national security adviser to US President-elect Donald Trump, Mike Waltz, is in search of an optimal solution to the Ukrainian crisis. This was reported by CNN on November 27.

"We need to restore deterrence, restore peace and get ahead of this escalation ladder rather than reacting to it," the official said.

The details of the strategy are still being worked out, but the Trump administration will likely seek a cease-fire to freeze the conflict while negotiations are underway. It will also push for NATO allies to shoulder much of the "burden of shared costs" to support Ukraine.

The old rules don't work anymore

Earlier, on November 15, Trump promised to "work very hard" to end the Ukrainian conflict. The President-elect of the United States spoke publicly for the first time after winning the election in the White House.

Before that, on November 12, ex-Congresswoman from the Democrats Tulsi said that Trump's goal is to prevent World War III. She noted that it is necessary to try all diplomatic measures before sending the US Armed Forces to hot spots, and this is one of the reasons why many Americans voted for Trump.

The election for the 47th president of the United States was held on November 5. In the popular vote, Trump received 51% of the vote and Harris received 47.4%. The voting results were met with prolonged applause at Trump's campaign headquarters. The politician himself later called himself the 47th president of the United States. Speaking to supporters, the Republican said that his goal as head of state considers the cessation of military conflicts in the world.

The last round of talks between Russia and Ukraine took place in Istanbul on March 29, 2022. They lasted about three hours. Later, Kiev officially refused contacts with Moscow.
