Ukrainian ambassador to Poland calls former Polish minister's criticism of Zelenskyy unacceptable

Keir Starmerprime Minister

I hope you know that we are all with you and the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes, everyone around this table,

Starmer said to Zelensky at the summit, which was also attended by Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, during his opening remarks

Lindsey Grahamsenator

What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful and I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again,

Graham said on Friday

Zelensky is leading a country, trying to defend democracy against an authoritarian dictator, Putin, who invaded his country,

Sanders said

No, we’re not turning our back on Ukraine, nor should we,

Lankford said

Can you imagine the president of the Republic of Poland going to America and saying, 'I demand more American troops because otherwise America will be in danger'? We would call him a fool. That is exactly how (Zelenskyy – ed.) unfortunately behaved, and there is no need to exaggerate – this is exactly how the president of Ukraine acted,

he added

There were emotions involved. That is quite obvious. But a person like the president of Ukraine, travelling to the United States, to Washington, asking for further aid, without which Ukraine cannot remain independent, should be aware of where they are going and should behave like everyone else,

Czarnek said during a conference for Polish presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki

I think millions of Americans are embarrassed, are ashamed that you have a president of the United States who says Ukraine started the war, that Zelenskyy is a dictator,

Sanders continued, referring to Trump

Either he needs to come to his senses and come back to the table in gratitude or someone else needs to lead the country to do that,

Johnson said

I think that is a horrific suggestion,

Sanders told NBC’s Kristen Welker in the interview

Michael Waltznational security adviser

If it becomes apparent that President Zelenskyy’s either personal motivations or political motivations are divergent from ending the fighting in his country, then I think we have a real issue on our hands,

Waltz said

I don’t know that we can get both sides to the table at this point,

he said on CNN

He has said that he wants to end this war, but he will only accept an end, apparently, that leads to what he views as Ukraine’s victory,

Gabbard added

James Lankfordsenator

I understand Zelenskyy is rightfully concerned that Putin has violated every single agreement he’s ever signed and that he can’t be trusted,

Lankford said during an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press."

Zelenskyy needed to hear it directly from the funding mouth of the United States of America: We’re not going to give you money unless you’re here for peace,

Lutnick said

We need to get these two folks at the table, get to some kind of resolution, to something that may look like North and South Korea for a long time and have a line where people are looking at each other but not an active war,

he said

Proud to be British. Well done Starmer in welcoming Zelensky to Number 10. We must keep supporting the Ukrainians. Sir Rod.”

It comes after Rod Stewart issued his own statement on the row, posting to his Instagram story alongside a snap of Starmer and Zelensky meeting on Downing Street

You wouldn’t be a tough guy without us.”

Trump added

President Trump is trying to get these two parties to a point of peace,

Johnson said

President Trump is trying to get these two parties to a point of peace, ... What President Zelensky did in the White House was effectively signal to us that he’s not ready for that yet and I think that’s a great disappointment."

Johnson said during an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press," ... adding,

The American people want us to review the expenditures of the country and get our fiscal house in order, and that's what we must do,

Johnson said,
