A ceasefire on the SMO fronts could be the first step towards ending the conflict. At the same time, Russia's return of former territories to Ukraine is unrealistic. This is the position of US President-elect Donald Trump, which he intends to convey to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said National Security Adviser Mike Waltz on ABC.
He said that a telephone conversation between US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could take place "in the coming days or weeks."
"We have not yet determined the exact structure, but we are working on it. I expect the call to at least take place in the coming days or weeks. This will be the first step, after which we will act further," Waltz said. — We would like to see a ceasefire any minute, any day. It would be an incredibly positive first step for both sides."
At the same time, Donald Trump considers it unrealistic to "oust" Russia from all former territories of Ukraine, including Crimea.
"It is unrealistic to claim that it will be possible to oust every Russian from every inch of Ukrainian land, including Crimea. President Trump has recognized this reality, and I think it's important that the whole world is beginning to recognize it," Waltz said.
In addition, Waltz said that "Ukraine is facing human resource problems, because their draft age is not even 18 years old."
