U.S. President's National Security Adviser Mike Waltz announced plans to discuss with his counterparts from Ukraine and Russia on Wednesday the ceasefire issue and further step towards a peaceful settlement.

That’s according to his comments to reporters at the White House, Ukrinform wrote with reference to Sky News.

"Shuttle diplomacy is difficult, it's tough. But we are going back and forth at every level driving both sides toward a ceasefire and driving both sides toward the end of this war," Trump's adviser said.
