The embassy went on to mock"the ex-comedian in a green sweatshirt now on tour around Europe" - and also had a warning for the UK government. Zelenskyy is set to travel to Brussels to attend an EU summit today.Thursday 9 February 2023 03:57, UKRussian officials have attacked Volodymyr Zelenskyy's"hasty" visit to Europe - dismissing his speech to MPs in Westminster as"theatrical".
But in a strongly worded statement, the Russian embassy in London said:"Zelenskyy's pompous solicitations about the values of 'freedom' and 'human rights', which Kiev claims to be fighting for, were overtly hypocritical." While Mr Zelenskyy is unlikely to secure immediate pledges to satisfy his requests, this will be his first opportunity to make the case in person to EU member states since the war began almost a year ago.It follows a powerful speech in Westminster Hall on Wednesday, followed by talks with the leaders of France and Germany over dinner in Paris.
