8:18Now PlayingAli Miraj is joined by former UK ambassador to Ukraine Leigh Turner after Nigel Farage said that Zelenskyy should seek a peace deal with Russia.
Mr Farage said that "of course" Vladimir Putin is at fault for his country's war with Kyiv.
But he maintained that the "ever-eastward expansion" of Nato and the European Union had given the Kremlin "an excuse" to move troops across the border.
The Reform UK leader said he was not an "apologist" for the Russian president but "what I have been saying for the past 10 years is that the West has played into Putin's hands, giving him the excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway".
Mr Farage has faced criticism from former PM Boris Johnson, who accused him of spreading 'Kremlin Propaganda'.
