Trump's pick for top security advisor Mike Waltz calls for 'responsible end' to Russia-Ukraine war
Times of India MSN ^ | 11/25/2025 | World Desk

US President-elect Donald Trump's pick for national security advisor on Sunday urged to stop the escalating war between Ukraine and Russia and said that the country "needs to restore deterrence and peace."

In an interview with Fox News, Mike Waltz said, “We need to bring this to a responsible end. We need to restore deterrence, restore peace, and get ahead of this escalation ladder, rather than responding to it."

"President Trump has been very clear about the need to end this conflict," he stated to Fox News.

"We need to be discussing is who's at that table, whether it's an agreement, an armistice, how to get both sides to the table and then what's the framework of a deal?"

Wrong right off the bat. Mike Waltz has clearly said he’s not going back into fedgov in any form. His only focus is this — https://www.article3project.org/

Thank you. End this pointless crap now before over 2,000 thermonuclear detonations end this crap instead.

Provided that President Dementia does not make an irreversible mistake before President Trump takes office.

Trump/Waltz could start by requiring formal presidential elections in UKR before any consideration of future support for money/arms. Zelenskyy has to go, period.

Armistice? What a wussy Trump is. Putin just needs to pack up and leave because he has no other option except to use a nuke and that is Armageddon. I read it all right here from my Zeeper betters on FreeRepublic. Don’t stand firm and Putin will be marching into Paris next.

The Ukrainian elections will happen only after martial law is lifted after cessation of hostilities.

And elections will be part of the negotiations with the U.S.

And General Valerii Zaluzhnyi will be the next President of Ukraine when elections finally happen.

And Zelenskyy has the power to influence recission of the martial law imposition. Until then, NOTHING.

Putinists not happy about the whole “deterrence” thing. They were expecting President Trump to throw a victory parade for Putin.

Ukraine conceding all annexed territory and agreeing to remain neutral afterward is the only way the war ends via a peace deal.

Those two points are non-negotiable for Russia.

Russia agreeing to end de-dollarization should be non-negotiable for us.

What's left of Ukraine gets to survive. That's all losers of wars get.

President Trump will decide when martial law is lifted in Ukraine.

There won’t be an end to this war. There might be temporary cessation of hostilities, at least through Trump’s tenure, but that’s it.

Yes.....and all it takes is the word to Zelenskyy that everything stops if he doesn’t.

Deterrence = Continued defensive weapons supply to Ukraine by the USA.

President Trump has been very clear to Putin about this.
