Lord Mandelson has been rebuked after saying Ukraine should be the first side "to commit to a ceasefire" in its war with Russia, as he called on Volodymyr Zelenskyy to back Donald Trump's minerals deal.

Peter Mandelson, a former UK cabinet minister, has stirred controversy by suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should offer "unequivocal backing" to any peace plan proposed by Donald Trump if he wins the 2024 US presidential election. This statement has drawn criticism from various quarters, including Ukrainian officials and Western diplomats, who argue that it undermines Ukraine's sovereignty and could pressure Zelenskyy into accepting unfavorable terms. Critics fear that such a stance might encourage Trump to push for a deal that prioritizes American interests over Ukraine's security. Mandelson's comments come at a sensitive time as Ukraine continues to seek robust international support amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. The backlash highlights the delicate balance of international diplomacy and the potential implications of US political changes on global conflicts.
