Dignified and defiant, Ukraine President Zelensky has delivered a ‘we will never surrender’ message to the UK.

Zelensky’s speech was a moment which bonded this crop of MPs into the fight which will define Europe for a generation.
Talking from the frontline of the war against Russia, the actor President, half Che Geuvara in his khaki t-shirt and stubble, all Churchill in his inspiring speech, quoted Shakespeare back at Britain.
The Ukrainian people, he reminded MPs, are in a fight for their very existence.
“To be or not to be?” said the President. “For 13 days this question could have been asked but now I can give you a definitive answer. It’s definitely yes, to be.”
For a man who has not slept in two weeks of missile attacks, this President with a price on his head looked surefooted as he listed, day by day, the Russian onslaught and the resistance.
No one could miss the echo of Winston Churchill when Zelensky vowed that Ukrainians would fight on, “in the forests, in the fields, on the shores and the streets” against their aggressor.
No one doubts it and he closed his address to a standing ovation from across the House and galleries.
The MPs applauded long and hard and maybe thought about where the events Zelensky and the people of Ukraine are living through will
