US Threatens World Order: Ukraine’s Ex-Commander-in-Chief Warns

In a recent address at Chatham House, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the U.K., expressed grave concerns about the actions of the United States, accusing Washington of destabilizing the global order. Zaluzhnyi highlighted that the Trump administration’s diplomatic approach, particularly towards Russia, has raised doubts about the unity of the Western world.

Zaluzhnyi emphasized that the U.S. is shifting security responsibilities to Europe, potentially leading to the dissolution of NATO. He warned that Europe could become a target for Russia, pointing out that Moscow has been building alliances with countries like Iran and North Korea, which supply weapons used against Ukraine. Notably, North Korea has reportedly deployed troops to support Russian forces in conflict zones.

The former commander-in-chief underscored that the U.S. is not only undermining the existing world order but also facilitating Russia’s attempts to reshape global dynamics. He cautioned that the strategic agreements between Russia and its allies could signify a concerted effort to challenge established norms.

Tensions between Kyiv and Washington escalated following a recent disagreement between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump, leading to the suspension of military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine. This move, coupled with the U.S.’s consideration of lifting sanctions against Russia, has further strained relations between the two countries.

Amid discussions about deploying European peacekeepers to Ukraine, challenges and divisions among European nations have complicated efforts to establish a peacekeeping force. The lack of consensus on this matter reflects broader uncertainties within the European community regarding the best approach to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Zaluzhnyi’s remarks shed light on the intricate geopolitical landscape, where power dynamics and alliances are constantly evolving. The implications of the U.S.’s actions on global stability and the future of international relations remain subjects of intense debate and speculation. As the world navigates these turbulent waters, the need for diplomatic dialogue and strategic cooperation becomes increasingly paramount to safeguarding the international order.
