Details: Waltz stated that the war must end and territorial concessions will be necessary to achieve this. He added that Russia would also need to make concessions regarding security guarantees.
Quote: “What I’m saying is that this war needs to end, and that’s going to take concessions on territory. That’s going to take Russian concessions on security guarantees. That’s going to take all sides coming to the table. And we are working very hard to drive those negotiations forward.”
Details: When asked by the host to specify what concessions Putin might have to make, Waltz responded: “We can’t get any specifics from the Ukrainians, but this will clearly be some type of territorial concession for security guarantees going forward.”
He claims this issue has already been discussed in previous rounds of negotiations.
“This needs to be European lead security guarantees going forward, part of that is Europe’s contribution to its own defence,” Waltz stated.
At the same time, he stated that the issue of US security guarantees, or their absence, needs to be addressed.
Waltz also reiterated US support for a change in Ukraine’s leadership following Friday’s spat in the Oval Office.
