British opposition figures have hit out at Donald Trump after he claimed Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was “a dictator without elections”.

Mr Trump made the claim in a tirade on TruthSocial, his own social media platform, in which he attacked Mr Zelensky, saying he had “better move fast or he is not going to have a country left”.
