Nigel Farage has distanced himself from Donald Trump’s approach to Ukraine ceasefire talks, saying Russia appears to be “getting far too much”.
The Reform UK leader told the BBC he “would not be 100% with” the current stance of the US president’s team in negotiations to end the conflict.
He added it was “quite right to aim for peace,” but Russian leader Vladimir Putin must not be allowed to emerge a “winner” in a ceasefire deal.
Trump has vowed to deliver a speedy resolution to the war, but talks have so far failed to produce agreement two months after he took office.
The US president blindsided European leaders last month by announcing direct talks with Russia to end the conflict without the involvement of Kyiv.
The Trump administration has also ruled out allowing Ukraine to join Nato, and went on to pause intelligence and military aid to Ukraine before resuming it after President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to a US-backed proposal for a month-long ceasefire plan.
The US has also so far declined to provide security guarantees for a suggested European force to police any eventual peace deal.
Asked on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme whether he agreed with Trump’s position on Ukraine, Farage said: “I would say it’s quite right to aim for peace, but we can’t have a peace that turns Putin into a winner.
“So I would not be 100% with where his team is right now, absolutely not”.
“We want a peace deal, surely everybody wants a peace deal. But it needs to be equitable – right at the moment, it appears Russia is getting far too much,” the Reform UK leader added.
Asked whether Trump had given too much ground, he replied: “At the moment, that’s the way it looks”.
“There may be things going on behind the scenes on the Russian side that we don’t know, but at the moment, that’s the worry”.
Farage is a prominent supporter of the US president, appearing at some of his election rallies and visiting his Mar-a-Lago residence.
But his political alignment with Trump has seen him face criticism from rival parties in the UK, where there is broad political backing for Ukraine.

Even one of the most longstanding trumputler shills is baulking at this criminal extortion plan.
“Vladimir Putin has suggested that Ukraine should temporarily be placed under UN control to elect what he called a more “competent” government.”
The rat nazi has got it arse about face. It is his murderous nazi regime that needs replacing.
Pro-Ukraine LinkedIn stalwart Marijn Markus has commented on putler’s crazed “UN” plan :
“🤡 Putin cries for the #UN to force #Elections in #Ukraine so he can install another puppet regime
Putin stalls peace negotiations (again) with new demands (again), arguing that all #Ukraine authorities are illegitimate (again) have been taken over by ‘𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬’ (again)
Meanwhile it’s russia who is invading other countries, b0mbing cities into the ground, deporting ethnic populations and running c0ncentration camps.
☝️ Putin probably doesn’t even realize how pathetic he looks, when, in the fourth year of his ‘special military operation,’ he, at the head of the ‘Second Army of the World’ and a ‘nuclear superpower,’ is whining and complaining that the Americans and the UN should intervene because Ukraine refuses to ‘negotiate’ or surrender to him.
Cry harder, bunker grandfather.”
The CRINKs have a new honorary member. We are now living in the most disturbing times imaginable.
The aid block engineered by trumpkov demonstrated his intense dislike of Ukraine. The Oval shitshow, the halting of intel that forced the Kursk withdrawal and now this criminal minerals extortion deal proves beyond doubt that trumpkov’s dislike of Ukraine at some point turned into murderous, psychotic hatred. His actions make him directly responsible for the murder of thousands of Ukrainians.
The U.S. is now a hostile power. Hostile to Ukraine, the UK and Europe in general. The “I don’t give a crap about your country” slur by Moscow Marge is probably now official policy.
trumpkov is even starting to show hate for friends like Canada and Denmark.
I would have thought that he’s already done enough to justify a third impeachment.
It seems clear enough now that trumpkov is colluding with putler to rape Ukraine.
The DJI is down again and is dragging bourses in the UK and Europe down with it.
Is Farage ill………………….something happened…………….?
