National Security Adviser Mike Waltz on Wednesday said that the United States government is going back and forth with Ukraine and Russia on a ceasefire deal to end the war between the two countries.
Waltz spoke to reporters as he walked into the West Wing of the White House.
According to him, he was on his way to speak to his counterpart in Moscow, having spoken with Ukrainians in the morning.
He, however, admitted that it’s tough to strike a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia.
“And then we also have a call with the Ukrainians this morning,” Waltz said.
“Shuttle diplomacy is difficult. It’s tough,” he added.
“But we are going back and forth at every level, driving both sides to a ceasefire and both sides towards an end to the war.”
This is coming after US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
