US National Security Adviser says era of war in Ukraine is over

The era of war in Ukraine is over, US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said.

"Not everyone has gotten the message that the era of an endless grinding war with death and destruction on all sides, costing hundreds of billions [of dollars] and costing hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives. That era is over. President [of the United States Donald] Trump has been very clear he intends to bring this war to an end, that all sides need to be bought into that," he told Fox News.

He expressed bewilderment at Kiev’s "bizarre pushback and escalation of rhetoric" over The US proposal to use Ukrainian mineral resources in exchange for the US assistance, which the US sees "as an absolute opportunity, and that's to have the United States invest in Ukrainian infrastructure, to have them grow both their minerals, their natural resources, their oil and gas."
