Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom and former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi said that the United States «is destroying the world order».

He expressed this opinion during a speech at the Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House in London, The Times reports.

He believes that the White House has called into question the unity of the entire Western world.

«It is not just an axis of evil that is trying to revise the world order... The US is destroying the world order. It is obvious that the White House has called into question the unity of the entire Western world. And now Washington is trying to delegate security issues to Europe without the participation of the United States», Valerii Zaluzhnyi said .

Earlier, Valerii Zaluzhnyi did not answer directly whether he would run for the presidency of Ukraine, but he said he would think about it.

In February 2024, Valerii Zaluzhnyi was dismissed from the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the commander-in-chief, thanked him for two years of defending Ukraine and offered «to continue to be together in the team of the Ukrainian state».

Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi was appointed as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Later, Valerii Zaluzhnyi was appointed Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
