over President's attack on Zelensky and 'plans to abandon NATO'

The Kremlin has said it 'absolutely' agrees with Donald Trump after the US president warned Volodymyr Zelensky to 'move fast' to end the conflict in Ukraine - as Europe has been left panicked at the prospect of Washington abandoning Kyiv.

'[The Trump administration] talk about the need to establish peace as soon as possible and do it through negotiations,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

'We have also already mentioned that this position is more favourable to us than the previous administration, and that here we absolutely agree with the American administration.'

Peskov went on to hit out at the Biden administration, claiming that the previous team in Washington 'did not declare any goals to initiate a peace process' and spoke 'only about war.'
