“We will not give up,” said the president of Ukraine on Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelenskyin the first speech of a foreign leader before the deputies in the House of Commons (lower) of the United Kingdom, who have given him a standing ovation.
“We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores and in the streets,” Zelensky declared by videoconference, a few words with which he paraphrased one of the most famous speeches of the former British head of government Winston Churchill in World War II World.
The first Minister, Boris Johnsonhas subsequently praised the resistance of the Ukrainians to the Russian invasion and has assured that the United Kingdom will use “any available method, diplomatic, humanitarian and economic”, to ensure that the Kremlin “fails”.
“We will not give up and we will not lose. We will fight to the end by sea and by air, we will continue to fight for our land, whatever the cost,” Zelensky said in a speech with heroic and epic overtones.
“We will fight to the end by sea and by air, we will continue to fight for our land, whatever the cost”
The Ukrainian has compared his country’s fight to that of the British to defend the United Kingdom from Nazi Germany in World War II: “You didn’t want to lose your country when the Nazis wanted to take it from you. You fought for it.”
After thanking the British Prime Minister for his support of the Ukrainian Government, Zelensky called on the United Kingdom to go further in the sanctions against Russia and to promote a no fly zone in the sky over Ukraine to prevent Russian bombing.
The deputies, who filled the plenary hall of the House of Commons, received the Ukrainian president with a long standing ovation and, after listening to him in the midst of absolute silence, they fired him again with a salvo of applause.
In his response, the head of the British Government thanked Ukrainian citizens for being an “inspiration” for millions of people around the world, and added that he is willing to increase pressure on Moscow.
Also the leader of the opposition, Labor Keir Starmerhad words of praise for Zelensky, noting that “everyone has been moved by the courage, resolution and leadership” of the Ukrainian president.
