Nigel Farage has sought to distance himself from Donald Trump's approach to Ukraine - saying the US president risks turning Vladimir Putin "into a winner",
LBC reports.
The Reform UK leader said he "would not be 100% with where (Mr Trump's) team is right now" as the US appears to be withdrawing support from Kyiv and worsening their relationship with the war-torn nation.
Earlier this week, the US appeared to signal an intention to ease sanctions on Russia amid ongoing attempts to secure a ceasefire.
Reports have also suggested the US is pushing for a new deal with Kyiv that would give America control over Ukrainian minerals and energy assets.
Ukraine has been a challenging issue for Farage, who has faced backlash over his admiration for Putin and for accusing the West of provoking the Russian invasion.
Asked what he would say to Mr Trump about his approach to Ukraine on the BBC's Today programme, Mr Farage said: "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."
The MP for Clacton has received blistering criticism for his past comments on Russia.
He previously accused the West of provoking the Russian invasion and following Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea said Mr Putin was "actually on our side" when it came to "the real threat" of Islamic extremism.
