**World Order in Jeopardy: Ukraine's Ambassador Slams US Policies**
Ukraine's envoy to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, accuses the US of destabilizing global order amid tensions over foreign policy changes.
The Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, has made strong accusations against the United States, claiming that its recent foreign policy adjustments are undermining the established global order. Speaking at a conference in London, Zaluzhnyi criticized the current administration led by Donald Trump for creating divisions within the Western alliance and evoking concern about the future of NATO.
His comments come against a backdrop of strained relations between Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump, which escalated after a controversial meeting in the Oval Office last Friday. Now, following a pause in US military aid and intelligence sharing intended to facilitate negotiations, Zaluzhnyi has expressed fears that Washington's approach could align more with Moscow than with its allies.
During the conference, he remarked, "We see that it is not just the axis of evil and Russia trying to revise the world order, but the US is finally destroying this order." Zaluzhnyi's criticism reflects apprehensions within Ukraine about the precariousness of its position in light of Trump's overtures to Russia, describing President Putin as a "war criminal."
Zaluzhnyi warned that such shifts in US policy could threaten the existence of NATO and suggested that Russia might target Europe next. The ambassador’s remarks intensify the scrutiny on Trump’s efforts to negotiate peace, which many in Ukraine view as potentially leading to dangerous concessions without adequate security guarantees.
Zelensky has made attempts to ease tensions with Trump, indicating a desire for swift resolution to the conflict, but he has also expressed mistrust about the administrations' trajectory. The pause in US support has been criticized, particularly as pro-Kremlin rhetoric has appeared to gain traction in the wake of Trump’s statements blaming Ukraine for the ongoing crisis.
As developments continue in the complex geopolitical landscape, the ambassador's warnings underscore a growing anxiety within Ukraine about how US foreign policy might shape the future of European security and stability.
