The United States is “destroying” the international rules-based order by trying to meet Russia “halfway”, Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK has warned.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi told a conference at the Chatham House think tank that recent steps by Washington towards Moscow were “a huge challenge”, warning Nato could collapse and Europe could become Russian President Vladimir Putin’s next target.
