As President Zelenskyy spoke to both Houses of Parliament today in the Great Hall, I was thinking of all our Ukrainian friends who have settled in Stroud, along with the constituents and groups who have given them support. I know Ukrainians all over the world continue to be devastated to see what is happening in their home country.
President Zelenskyy is clear that we were there to support Ukraine on day one of the war. He thanked the Prime Minister for ongoing assistance and referenced their meeting earlier today. He thanked all of Parliament and the UK too.
I have to say that the President is one of the best speakers I’ve heard. Clear about what he needs from us to fight Russia and so genuinely grateful to his own country’s bravery.
The President is now going to see His Majesty the King.
