The U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz stated that the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia, Kurt Kellogg, traveled to Kiev to persuade President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine to end the war with Russia.
"Is the reality that exists in the interest of Ukraine? Or in the interest of Europe? Certainly, it is not in the interest of Russia or the American people for this war to continue endlessly, endlessly, endlessly. Thus, a key part of his conversation was to help President Zelensky understand that this war must come to an end," - said Waltz at a briefing at the White House on Thursday.
According to him, Americans should not doubt President Donald Trump's ability "not only to handle Putin but also to navigate the complexities of bringing this war to a conclusion."
