British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace claimed on Friday that his comments about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s lack of “gratitude” for the UK’s military support were “misreported,” and that his government will keep “helping Ukraine procure what they need to triumph.”
Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Lithuania earlier this week, Wallace told reporters that “people want to see a bit of gratitude” from Kiev. Recalling a trip to Ukraine last year in which he was immediately presented with a list of demands from his Ukrainian counterparts, Wallace described telling the Ukrainians that Western countries are “not like Amazon.”
Wallace’s remarks triggered a sarcastic response from Zelensky, who offered to “wake up every morning and personally thank the minister.”
In a Facebook post on Friday, Wallace insisted that he never meant to criticize the Ukrainian leader.
