Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has come under fire for criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's diplomatic stance towards the US, suggesting Zelensky was rude and unwise. Farage drew comparisons to former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, with Conservative officials branding his remarks as 'morally wrong.' Priti Patel, Tory Shadow Foreign Secretary, defended Zelensky's leadership during the war with Russia, emphasizing the need for bipartisan support for Ukraine. Farage's comments received a rebuttal from a Reform UK spokesman, underscoring a call for security in any peace agreement while critiquing the Tories' immigration policy.
Farage accused Zelensky of being unwise in his remarks to the US, stating, 'I think President Zelensky was very unwise to tell the Americans what would happen to them if they didn't back him.'
Priti Patel stated that Farage's criticism is morally wrong and he should recognize Zelensky as a hero standing against Putin's aggression and leading the defense of Ukraine.
A Reform UK spokesman criticized Patel's open border immigration stance, pointing out their calls for security guarantees for Ukraine amidst the conflict.
Patel remarked, 'Like Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of Reform UK seems to have history equivocating over Russia's illegal war in Ukraine,' highlighting political divisions.
