US President-elect Donald Trump plans to bring both sides to the negotiating table and thus end Russia's war against Ukraine, said Mike Waltz, a Republican congressman from Florida nominated for the post of National Security Advisor to the US President, in a commentary to Voice of America after the meeting of Republicans with Trump on November 13, UNN reports.

The President has made it clear that he wants to bring both sides to the negotiating table. He is focused on ending the war, not prolonging it

- Waltz said.

Waltz added that the vision of security policy towards Ukraine depends on the newly elected US President Donald Trump.

"It doesn't depend on me, it depends on the president's decision," said the nominee for the post of National Security Advisor.

Addendum

Waltz will replace Jake Sullivan as National Security Advisor. National Security Advisor is a significant position in the presidential administration, but does not require Senate confirmation. According to Reuters, in this role, Waltz will be responsible for informing Trump about key national security issues and coordinating with various agencies.

Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint a former Special Forces officer, Congressman Mike Waltz, as National Security Advisor in his future administration on November 12.

Waltz retired from the National Guard and chaired a subcommittee of the Congressional Armed Services Committee. He was a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

In Congress, Mike Waltz initially supported bills to help Ukraine, stating that it was necessary to win, and visited Kyiv as part of congressional delegations.

However, in September 2023 Mike Waltz wrote that "the era of open checks to Ukraine from Congress is over" and in April 2024 he voted against additional funding for $60 billion.
