Historic moment for Parliament. President Zelensky addresses the House of Commons.
Zelensky: “The question for us now is to be or not to be. The Shakespearean question. For 15 days this question has been asked. I can give you a definitive answer is yes- to be.”

Zelenksy invokes Winston Churchill, a fellow war leader. Says that Ukrainians will fight in the air, in the forests and in the streets.
Zelensky thanks Boris Johnson personally and the United Kingdom for its support. Asks for a no fly zone.
Boris Johnson: “Never before in all the centuries of our parliamentary democracy has the House heard such an address. In a great European capital now within range of Russian guns, President Zelensky is standing firm for democracy and for freedom.”
Keir Starmer: “Every one of us has been moved by the resolve of President Zelensky. Invading troops march through his streets. Shells rain down on his people and assassins seek his life. No one would have blamed him for fleeing. Yet instead he’s stayed in Kyiv.”
