Us endangers the world order, warns Ukrainian ambassador
The Ukrainian ambassador to the United Kingdom, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, recently stated that the United States "destroy" the current world order. He warned that Russia's next destination could be Europe. Zaluzhnyi, who was recalled last year as the military chief of Ukraine and is now considered a potential presidential candidate, said concerns about the efforts of the United States to go “halfway” with Russia.
tensions between the USA and Ukraine
These statements are particularly direct for an incumbent ambassador. They fall into a time when Ukraine tries to improve their relationships with the United States after a problematic meeting between President Wolodymyr Selenskyj and Donald Trump. After the heated discussions, the US government stopped military aid for Ukraine and hired the intelligence cooperation, which triggered fears in Kiev that the Trump administration stands behind Russia.
criticism of US policy
"It is not only the 'axis of evil' and Russia who want to revise the world order, but also the USA that actually destroy this order," said Zaluzhnyi on Thursday on a podium of the British Think Tank Chatham House. He said that the US government "questioned" the unity of the western world and reported on discussions of the Trump administration with Russia, in which Ukraine and Europe were pushed to the edge.
the future of NATO question
In view of the current developments, Zaluzhnyi expressed concerns about the future of NATO and emphasized: "We can say that NATO could also stop in the near future." In addition, he announced that the United States would try to delegate security policy issues without its participation in Europe. "Now Washington is taking steps towards Kremlin to meet them, which could make Europe the next goal of Russia," he added.Europe's defense skills
The words of Zaluzhnyis come at a time when Europe has to urgently expand its defense skills. The dramatic change of course of US politics under Trump has triggered concern that Europe may no longer be able to count on American support, while the threat of Russia continues to exist.
support for Ukraine
The European allies showed solidarity after the encounter between Selenskyj and Trump. Selenskyj was expelled from the White House as a result of the incident. Since then he has tried to reduce the tensions with the Trump administration and explained that the heated meeting "did not go as it should have been". He described it as "regrettable" and emphasized that Ukraine was ready to negotiate an end to the conflict.
urgency of the EU summit in Brussels
In the meantime, the European leaders gather on Thursday for an emergency summit in Brussels, where they reaffirm their support for Ukraine and strive for a place at the negotiating table. the showdown between selenskyj and Trump shows the tension and the need for one uniform European position.
