Britain's defence secretary and the US national security adviser have suggested Ukraine ought to show more gratitude for the help it has received from the west, in response to Volodymyr Zelenskiy's complaints that his country has not been issued a firm timetable or set of conditions for joining Nato. Ben Wallace said Ukraine had a habit of treating allies, including the UK, as if they were an 'Amazon warehouse' with lists of demands for weapons. Later, when asked about Wallace's comments, Zelenskiy said: 'I thought that we were very grateful to the UK.' The Ukrainian president continued, saying 'maybe the minister wants something special' to show Kyiv's gratitude. Zelenskiy then directed the question to his defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov, who said Ukraine had an 'amazing' relationship with the UK.
