JAKARTA - US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are believed to be holding phone talks in the coming days or weeks.
Trump, who will return to US president on January 20, called himself the main deal maker and has pledged to end the war in Ukraine soon but did not explain how he was able to achieve it.
US Congressman Mike Waltz, who will become a national security adviser, told ABC the war had become a 'human meat pangolin and a World War-style' with a 'third World War consequences'.
"Everyone knows that this should end diplomatically," Waltz, a Trump loyalist who also serves at the National Guard as a colonel, told ABC.
"I don't think it's realistic to say that we're going to expel every Russian citizen from every inch of Ukrainian soil, even Crimea. President Trump has acknowledged that fact, and I think this is a big step forward the whole world is taking. acknowledge that fact. Now let's move forward, "said Waltz.
When asked specifically about the contact between Trump and Putin, Waltz said he expected talks, at least in the coming days or weeks.
"So it will be a step and we will take action from there," he said.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has left tens of thousands of people dead, millions displaced, and sparked the biggest division in relations between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

US officials refer to Russia as a corrupt autocratic state that is the biggest threat to the US and has interfered in US elections, imprisoned US citizens on false charges, and carried out a sabotage campaign against US allies.
Russian officials say the US is a force that is slumping and has repeatedly ignored Russia's interests since the outbreak of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Russia says sowing disputes within Russia is an effort to divide Russian society and advance US interests.
