Quote: “It is not just the axis of evil trying to revise the world order … The US is destroying the world order. It is obvious the White House has questioned the unity of the whole western world. And now Washington is trying to delegate the security issues to Europe without the participation of the US.”
Details: The Times notes that Zaluzhnyi also warned that NATO could cease to exist and Russia would come for Europe next.
Background:
- On 28 February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance had a row over the war in Ukraine at the White House in raised voices in front of the TV cameras. Prior to this, Trump had said at the meeting with Zelenskyy that he was “for both Ukraine and Russia”.
- Trump later said that Zelenskyy had been disrespectful to the US and was not ready for peace.
- On 4 March, it was reported that US President Donald Trump had ordered the suspension of all military aid to Ukraine, intensifying pressure on Zelenskyy following the spat at the White House.
- In addition, the United States has halted all intelligence sharing with Ukraine, particularly data on military targets and warnings about Russian missile and drone launches on Ukrainian territory.
- Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, later said preparations were underway for a new round of talks between the US and Ukraine.
