On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the British Parliament via teleconference and received a standing ovation for his inspiring words.

He discussed what Ukraine has gone through over the past 13 days as Russia invaded and attacked the country. Zelensky also requested a “no-fly zone” be established over Ukraine.

Zelensky mirrored British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in his famous June 1940 speech during World War II, saying, “We will not give up, and we will not lose. We will fight till the end — at sea, in the air, we will continue fighting for our land whatever the cost. We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets.”
