Trump Adviser Mike Waltz: Full Russian Withdrawal, Including Crimea, Unrealistic; Pushes for Diplomatic Resolution
Jan 12, 2025, 05:02 PM
Mike Waltz, President-elect Donald Trump's incoming National Security Adviser, stated in an interview with ABC News that it is unrealistic to expect the removal of all Russian forces from Ukrainian territories, including Crimea. Waltz emphasized that a diplomatic resolution is necessary to end the conflict and acknowledged that Trump shares this perspective. He noted that Ukraine faces significant challenges, including manpower shortages and a conscription age of 26, in its efforts to counter Russia. Waltz also mentioned that preparations are underway for discussions between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a first phone call expected in the coming days, to address the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump, who has criticized the high level of U.S. military aid to Ukraine, has previously expressed optimism about achieving peace within six months of taking office.
