President Zelensky is a hero: Tory leader Kemi Badenoch

Conservative Party leaer Kemi Badenoch declined to say whether the UK could still regard Donald Trump as an ally after his comments about Volodymyr Zelensky, but said Sir Keir Starmer needed to "rebuild" Britain's relationship with the US. Asked whether Mr Trump could still be considered an ally, the Tory leader told broadcasters: "President Zelensky is a hero and we need to do everything we can to support Ukraine to end this war. "They are fighting this war on behalf of all of Europe. Russia is the opponent here, they are not an ally. "And President Trump may have a different view, perhaps because of how they have been supporting Ukraine and the money they have spent, and this is why it is really important that our Prime Minister does everything he can to rebuild that relationship."
