Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the UK government as his wife, first lady Olena Zelenska, shared an open letter detailing the “impossible” scale of destruction
“I would like to tell you about the 13 days of war, the war that we didn’t start and we didn’t want,” he told MPs, appearing via video link from Kyiv, where he has remained since the fighting began.
“We will not surrender, we will not lose, we will go to the end,” he added, before calling for Russia to be named a “terrorist state” and for allies to “make sure our skies are safe”. “Never before in centuries of parliamentary history has the House of Commons listened to an address like that given by President Zelensky today,” wrote prime minister Boris Johnson.
