When asked about the remarks at a later press conference, Mr Zelensky said: “Let him write to me [about] how else I should express my words of gratitude or we could get up in the morning and express our words of gratitude to the minister.”
He urged Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukraine’s defence minister, who was sitting in the audience, to call Mr Wallace to find out more about his concerns.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also distanced himself from Mr Wallace’s comments, insisting Ukraine had always been grateful for Britain’s support.
Mr Sunak said Mr Zelensky had “repeatedly expressed his gratitude to me and to the British people and indeed other allies”.
