Details: Waltz said it was "very clear" that Ukraine shares US President Donald Trump's vision for peace and "his determination to end the fighting".
He added that the Ukrainian delegation has made "concrete steps and concrete proposals", not only accepting the US proposal for a full ceasefire.
"We also got into substantive details on how this war is going to permanently end, what type of guarantees they [Ukrainians – ed.] are going to have for their long-term security and prosperity, but also really looking at what it’s going to take to finally end this horrific fighting," Waltz said.
Background:

- A joint Ukraine-US statement has also indicated that Washington is lifting its pause in military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
