Well, this was from a speech that Ambassador Zaluzny gave at Chatham House in London. It sometimes restricts reporting, but this was not such an event. Chatham House had billed it as being on the record and Ambassador Zaluzny knew that his remarks would be freely reported. So he's saying things very much as he sees things.

Some of the things he said were things like, it's obvious that the White House has questioned the unity of the whole Western world. Washington versucht, die Sicherheitsprobleme zu delegieren, er spricht von der Ukraine, in Europa, ohne die Partizipation der USA. Und so in der nahen Zukunft kann NATO ebenfalls stoppen, das große Thema zu öffnen, das einige AnalystInnen gesprochen haben.

Er sagt, Russland sei von einem Kriegskriminalen geführt und dass durch die US-direkten Gespräche mit Russland die White House die Schritte Richtung Kremlin gemacht hat, um sie halbwegs zu treffen. So he said the next target of Russia could be Europe. He couldn't be much more direct.

He absolutely is not just any other ambassador. He was the former commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces from 2021. So he was leading the defence of Ukraine at the time of Russia's full-scale invasion. And for nearly two years after that, he was sacked in February last year when President Zelensky said he wanted to Er hat die militärische Führung erneuert.

Aber trotzdem, für viele Ukrainer ist er absolut ein Hero. Er wurde im Mai 2020 als Ambasadur in die USA eingeladen. Und er hat immer eine Reputation für einen straight-speakingen General, anstatt einen Diplomaten. Es scheint, dass er seine Meinung sprechen will, obwohl wir nicht wissen, ob seine Bemerkungen von Kiew von Tassit-Approval erhalten wurden oder ob er nur seine eigene Meinung äußert.

And he describes the EU's approach as giving added value because the bloc, he said, would never demand a deal that was not mutually beneficial. He says that Ukraine has 21 out of 30 minerals that the EU sees as critical minerals. And it seems the whole approach is very different to that of Washington.

President Trump's approach has been very aggressive, very strident, talking about Ukraine having to Das ist ein großer Unterschied zwischen dem, was Präsident Trump sagt und dem, was Ukraine sagt. Ja, genau. And the EU is obviously trying to source critical minerals from lots of other parts of the world as well. Argentina, Democratic Republic of Congo, these sort of places.
