'It’s amazing what comes out through emotion': US, world leaders react to tense Trump-Zelensky meeting

5. UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch calls for ‘respectable diplomacy’

The U.K.'s Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch responded to Trump’s volatile meeting with Zelensky by calling on all parties to “remember that the villain” is Putin. 

Badenoch wrote: “Respectable diplomacy is essential for peace. We need to remember that the villain is the war criminal President Putin who illegally invaded another sovereign country - Ukraine. A divided West only benefits Russia. Now is the time for more cooperation, not less. Any peace agreement must be negotiated with Ukraine at the table, and will need security guarantees. We cannot lose sight of the fact that tonight air raid sirens are sounding in Ukraine.”

Earlier this week, Badenoch delivered a foreign policy speech that predicted America’s role as the world’s peacekeeper — the age of “Pax American” — was “evolving” and “potentially even ending.”
