UK Defence Secretary John Healey held a press conference on 20 February after Donald Trump's false claims that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a "dictator" and that Ukraine started the conflict with Russia. Healey met with Norwegian Defence Minister Tore Sandvik to discuss security, including Ukraine's situation, following Trump's inaccurate statements. Zelensky dismissed Trump's claims, stating he was operating in a "disinformation space."
