Ukraine's ambassador to the UK and former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny has accused the USA of “destroying the world order”, The Times has reported.

In his speech, he also warned that NATO could cease to exist and that Russia's next move would be to attack Europe.

“The US is destroying the world order,” he said. “It is clear that the White House has questioned the unity of the entire Western world. And now Washington is trying to delegate security issues to Europe without US participation.”

Zaluzhny is being touted as a future replacement for President Zelensky.
