US security adviser clear message to Ukraine: We need a leader who even communicates with the Russians.

President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, hinted the US supports the idea of a new leader and leadership in Ukraine after facing the Oval Office with President Voldymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine needs a leader who can communicate with us, communicate with the Russians and end this fight”, Walt told CNN.

And if it becomes clear that President Zelensky's personal or political motives are different from the outcome of the war in this country, then I think we have a real problem in our hands”, he added.

Waltz said the Ukrainian leader should make it clear to “in public and privately” that he is ready to achieve peace.

Waltz also offered a new mirror for possible concessions during negotiations on an agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

What I'm saying is that this war has to end and it will require concessions in the territory. There must be concessions from Russia for security guarantees. All sides must sit on the table and we are working hard to move these negotiations” forward, Waltz said.

It is clear that there will be territorial concessions for the following security guarantees”, Waltz concluded referring to European-led security guarantees.

When asked about the security guarantees the US will provide, he said they should be negotiated. /tch
