Defiant Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to give historic address to British MPs from war bunker
HERO Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will today give an historic address to British MPs from his war bunker.
The defiant leader will become the first leader in history to address MPs in the House of Commons via videolink.
As missiles rain down on his country, the Ukrainian President is expected to make an emotional appeal for the West not to let Putin get away with his war when he addresses MPs at 5pm today.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said: “Every parliamentarian wants to hear directly from the President, who will be speaking to us live from Ukraine, so this is an important opportunity for the House.”
The box office speech is set to be one of the most memorable moments in the modern history of Britain’s Parliament.
It comes after the UK’s usually warring MPs put aside their differences and united to give the Ukrainian ambassador a standing ovation in the Commons last week.
