President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, during a speech in the British Parliament, called on the country to provide Ukraine with aircraft in the form of military assistance..

“Today in Ukraine every military pilot is a king. For us. For our families. Therefore, everything possible and impossible must be done to provide our kings with the necessary aircraft, the necessary means, the necessary protection so that they can protect us.. And I'm honored to give you, Great Britain, the helmet of our Air Force. This is a helmet of a real Ukrainian pilot. He is one of our most successful aces, our kings. The inscription on the helmet says: "

“Leaving the British Parliament two years ago, I thanked you for the delicious English tea. Today I will leave Parliament thanking you in advance for the powerful British aircraft,” the President added..

Also during his speech, Zelensky called for bringing to justice all those responsible for terror and the war in Ukraine..

“Whoever resorted to violence must answer to the victims of terror. Our proposal to create a special tribunal for Russian aggression against Ukraine and the principle of paying compensation from Russian assets is based on these principles.. Great Britain supported our proposal. And I thank you, thank you Mr. Prime Minister! "

The President several times during his speech thanked Britain for help and support in the war, including for helping to train the Ukrainian military.

He also urged British parliamentarians not to ease sanctions against Russia until the Kremlin can fully finance its war against Ukraine, and the country itself to keep leadership, because the world needs it, "

He said that the UK, together with Ukraine, "

" We know that Russia will lose. Victory will change the world. And it will be a change that the world needs for a long time. It will be a victory over the very idea of \u200b\u200bwar. Every aggressor will know what awaits him if he attacks the international order. Any aggressor who tries to impose his dictatorship with the blood of another people, as the Kremlin does, every aggressor will lose,” Zelensky said..

Also during the speech, the president recalled how two years ago, during a visit to Britain, he was offered to sit in Churchill's chair, where he made military decisions during World War II..

“Then they asked me: what do I feel? Now I understand what it was like to feel. This feeling is now familiar to Ukrainians. That hardship and courage can be rewarded with victory,” he said..

\! Long live the king! And Glory to Ukraine! ”, Zelensky concluded his speech.
