Criticising the new Trump administration's way of handling foreign policy, Valerii Zaluzhnyi said the White House had "questioned the unity of the whole Western world".

His comments come amid an apparent cooling of tensions between Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and his US counterpart Donald Trump, after a public falling-out between the two in the Oval Office on Friday.

Kyiv has made attempts to mend relations with Washington in recent days, after the US paused its military aid to Ukraine and intelligence sharing in a bid to bring Zelensky to the negotiating table.

But Mr Zaluzhnyi's remarks at a conference at Chatham House in London on Thursday suggest there remains discontent over the US's actions.
