Analysis: An “ambush” against Zelensky – who will protect Ukraine from the US?
What we saw tonight from the Trump administration was a "skillfully executed" and "well-calculated" ambush that was carried out with intent, writes The Telegraph's defense editor Dominic Nicholls in an analysis.
The question is no longer who will protect Ukraine from Russia but who will protect Ukraine from the US, writes Nicholls.
Sky News international correspondent Dominic Waghorn has the same picture. Only those who were in the room can know for sure, but from where he sat, it was an "ambush led by the US vice president".
"The Oval Office was replaced by a reality show", writes Waghorn.
If Ukraine's European allies accept that the US has become a rogue and unreliable ally, they have a tough choice, according to Waghorn. Either they have to do what they can to protect Ukraine or they will see themselves and Ukraine torn apart by more powerful forces, he writes.
