WASHINGTON, March 5. /TASS/. The US is currently reviewing all aspects of its relations with Ukraine, US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told reporters.

"We have taken a step back, and are pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship," he said when asked whether intelligence sharing with Ukraine was still on pause.

Waltz also said he was just off the phone with his Ukrainian counterpart, speaking about such issues as location for the next round of negotiations about the conflict.

"We are having good talks on location for the next round of negotiations, on delegations, on substance," he said.

The official expressed optimism based on how things have been unfolding over the past day.

"We're going to see movement in very short order," Waltz said, without elaborating.

On February 28, Zelensky met with Trump at the White House. Their televised exchange suddenly unraveled into a shouting match, with Trump scolding Zelensky for being disrespectful to the US, and Vance saying that Zelensky had never thanked the country for all the support provided to Kiev. A news conference scheduled to follow the meeting was canceled. The countries didn’t sign a deal on minerals. The US president posted a statement to Truth Social, telling off Zelensky for being disrespectful and not ready for peace.

On March 3, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelensky’s remark about the conflict being far from over was "the worst statement that could have been made." He added that "America will not put up with it for much longer."

Later that day, Trump said, apparently referring to Zelensky, that if someone doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, that person "will not stay here for long." He also expressed confidence in Russia's desire to resolve the conflict. The White House then announced that Washington had suspended military aid to Kiev.
