 Now, the Ukrainian leader will later visit Ukrainian troops who are being trained by British forces and will address the British parliament in just a few moments. And when that happens, we will take you there live. The relationship will grow in such turbulent times. On the 24th of February, 2022, the second invasion of Ukraine began. On the 8th of March, 2022, there was another first for us both. I suspended the House of Commons so that you could address, in Ukrainian, through the screens in our chamber, which we still refer to them as Zelensky screens. The atmosphere was electrifying. You could hear a pin drop before you came online, a very, very rare thing in the House of Commons. You spelled out the horrors of the first 13 days of war. Your speech was devastating and powerful. Today, on the 8th of February, 2023, no deep into the war, we are honoured that you have put yourself at risk to address us, and again, shine a light on the fact your country is still fighting for its survival. This all has been the place of many great historical events. Your presence here today adds another to them. The war, as you know better than any of us, has lasted for nearly a year. As you told us last year, this is a war Ukraine did not start and did not want. But it is a war you've had to fight. And our commitment to support you and your people has not wavered. I was considering what could be said at this important occasion. I thought back to the 1990s. Then we hoped that all countries that emerged from the former Soviet Union could secure freedom and prosperity. There was a moment of hope over that time, and we knew it would be a long time that each country could choose its own destiny. It is a tragedy that Ukraine's efforts to bring freedom, prosperity to its people, has been met with war and death. Last year, building on our friendship, I welcome your wife, Madame Solenska, to Parliament to open deliberately a provocative exhibition. I wanted to ensure the experience of your people is kept at the forefront of our minds. I do not believe any of us in this room were complacent about the reality of conflict, but those displays shocked us. The images stayed with us. They brought home the horrors of war, horrors inflicted on your people, fighters, civilians alike, horrors which cannot be avoided or denied. I applaud Ukraine's refusal to forget what is you and your people are fighting for. In the words of your Ukrainian Eurovision winners, Kailusha Orchestra, they said, I always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed. Fighting for a country is not simply fighting for territory. It is a fight for home and for an idea. The endurance of the people, the people of Ukraine, honours those ideals. The refusal to allow war to destroy the humanity honours their ideals. Quite rightly, last year you said, Ukrainians have become big over the 13 days of this war. You have become even bigger in your determination, not just to fight for your country, but to stand by the ideals you are fighting for. We will not give up on those ideals. We will continue to support you against that Russian aggressor. And I pledge here today, in front of all of you, to all I can to keep the plight of Ukraine in the spotlight. Later this year, the UK and Ukraine will be united in music, but we will always be united in our unwavering belief in the power of democracy. Slava Ukraina, Mr President, please. Thank you so much. Thank you. The people of the United Kingdom and their honourable representatives, all the people of England and Scotland, of Wales and Northern Ireland, of all the lands which have been home to brave souls since Europe came into existence. I have come here and stand before you on behalf of the brave, on behalf of our warriors who are now in the trenches under enemy artillery fire, on behalf of our air, gunners, and every defender of the sky who protects Ukraine against enemy aircrafts and missiles, on behalf of our tank men who fight to restore our Ukrainian borders, on behalf of our conscripts who are being trained now, including here in Britain. Thank you, Britain. Glory to the front line, front-skilled, equipped, and eager to win, on behalf of every father and every mother who are waiting for their brave sons and brave daughters back home from the war. Mr Speaker, you may, I think, well remember as roughly more than two years ago. We met with you here in Parliament, where it's honour was for me, and I remember we enjoyed tea. We talked, of course. We talked a lot about our people and about our countries throughout the British and Ukrainian political traditions. Mr Prime Minister Ryushin, when we had our meeting earlier today, and I said to you that I would tell you, I will tell a story in my address to the Parliament and a story about my feelings on my first visit to London as president in autumn 2020. The programme was packed Royal Highnesses William and Catherine and Buckingham Palace and the aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy, the Westminster, of course, down in the street, and, of course, the war rooms. And there is an armchair in the war room, the famous Churchill's armchair, and a guide smiled and offered me to sit down on this armchair from which war orders had been given. And he asked me, how did I feel? And I said that I suddenly felt something, but it is only now that I know what the feeling was. And all Ukrainians know it perfectly well, too. It is the feeling of how bravery takes you through the most unimaginable hardships to finally reward you with victory. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your bravery. Thank you very much from all of us. Yes, please. That is for you. All applause for you, as stood with Kiev since day one. From the first seconds and minutes of the full-scale war, Great Britain, you extended your helping hand when the world had not yet come to understand how to react. You got others united when it seemed absolutely, absolutely impossible. Thank you. You all showed your great and character, back British character. You didn't compromise Ukraine. And hence, you didn't compromise your ideals. And thus, you didn't compromise the spirit of these great islands. Thank you very much. And of course, of course, everybody understand that our countries knew absolutely different times. Our nations defended freedom in the Second World War. The iron curtain divided us. Our people went through crisis and growth, through inflation and periods of social losses and social gains. It was tough, but we always found strength and stamina to move ahead and achieve results. This is the bedrock of our land and your traditions. Ukrainians and Brits defeated the fear of war ahead of time to enjoy peace, no matter what we encountered on different stages of our and your formidable history. And you, you and us, and the whole mankind achieved similar result, evil lost. We will always come out on top of evil. This lies at the core of our, but also your, traditions. However, the horizon never stays clear for a while. Once the old evil is defeated, the new one is attempting to rise its head. Do you have a feeling that the evil will crumble once again? I can see in your eyes now within the same way as you do. We know freedom will win. Russia will lose victory. The victory will change the world. And this will be a change that the world has long needed. It's marching with us towards the most, I think, the most important victory of our lifetime. It will be a victory over the very idea of the war. After we win together, any aggressor, it doesn't matter, big or small, we'll know what awaits him if he attacks international order. Any aggressor, any aggressor who will try to push the boundaries by force, who will inflict destruction and death on other peoples who will try to endure his dictatorship at the expense of other peoples' blood in criminal and unprovoked wars as the Kremlin does. Any aggressor is going to lose. Ladies and gentlemen, we have already achieved remarkable results. And we must make every effort to turn our achievements into the foundations of the future global security architecture, the world. The world needs your leadership, Britain, just as it needs Ukrainian bravery. Full scale innovation began. We together with you, Britain and United States and other allies formed a true coalition of friends. That is very important. You were among those very few who had helped before the large scale innovation began, exactly as it will be necessary every time in the future to prevent aggression from happening. Your help was preventive. We must take these principles of preventive aid to those who are threatened with aggression and preventive sanctions against those who threaten aggression as basic principles of the world under war policy. We created a coalition of a low, thank you, of a low and javelin that stopped the advance of the Russian army from the first day of the invasion. A coalition of artillery rounds and a coalition of air defense, which allow us to save the lives of our children, of our people, of our civilians, our women, our elderly, and our cities from Russia, at Russia's occupation and missile terror. We put together a powerful sanction coalition. And your leadership is protecting international legal order through sanctions against a terrorist state, cannot be questioned. And we have to steadily, to steadily continue along this way until Russia is deprived of any possibility to finance the war. Most importantly, together with the G7, we brought about a coalition of values, a coalition that protects the rule-based world order and human rights. A coalition that will work in such a way that over time, there will simply be no gray areas in the world in which human life doesn't matter. In order for it to be so, there must be justice. Anyone who invests in terror must be held accountable. Anyone, anyone who invests in violence must compensate those who have suffered from terror, terror, aggression, or other forms of state violence. Our proposals for the creation of a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine and special compensation mechanism, which will compensate war losses at the expense of Russian assets, are based on such principles. Justice is one of 10 elements of the peace formula proposed by Ukraine and supported by Britain. I thank you for your readiness to invoke the formula. Thank you, Prime Minister. Thank you very much. As I already mentioned, Ukrainian soldiers are being trained in Britain, in particular to operate challengers, your main battle tanks. And it's a tank coalition in action. And I thank you. Thank you, Rishi. Thank you very much for this powerful defensive step for tank assistance. Thank you. The coalition of long-range missiles is the latest of all. It will allow us to make the evil completely retreat from our country by destroying its headways deep in the occupied territories. And it's not just I'm not speaking just about weapons. We prove together that the world truly helps those who are brave in defending freedom and thus paves the way for a new history. A history of the world? History of the world that knows how to be quick in help, who knows how to be effective in defense, who knows how to remain principled in dark hours, who implements its treaties and arrangements in good faith, who does not allow perpetrators to enjoy immunity, who knows how to overcome veto when it's abused, who knows no fear, and who knows how to win. This shall be the new reality of the free world, I'm sure. Evil is still around today, and the battle continues. Yes, we know how it's going to end and how we are going to feel on the day victory comes. Every day we continue to pay to pay with lives. Pain and tears for bringing victory close to them with the lives of our people, our heroes whom we lose in battles, with the lives of our heroes who take life and death risks every day to save as many of our soldiers and civilians as possible. And today I will have the honor to be received by His Majesty the King. It will be a truly special moment for me, for our country. And in particular, because I will convey to him from all the Ukrainians the words of gratitude for the support His Majesty showed to them when he was still the Prince of Wales. And I also intend to tell him something that is, I think, that is very, very, very important not only for the future of Ukraine, but also for the future of Europe. In Britain, the King is a near-force pilot. And in Ukraine today, every air-force pilot is a king, just for us, for our families. Because there are so few. They are so precious that we, the servants of our kings, do everything possible and impossible to make the world provide us with modern planes to empower and protect pilots who will be protecting us. And I am proud of our air force. And I brought a present from them to you, Great Britain. Yes, please, open please. Yes, yes. Two sticker. I will explain if the helmet of a real Ukrainian pilot, he is one of our most successful aces and he's one of our kings. And the writing on the helmet reads, we have freedom, give us wings to protect it. As this symbol will help us for our next coalition, coalition of the planes, and I appeal to you and the world with simple and yet most important words, combat aircrafts for Ukraine, wings for freedom. You and us both struggle for peace, but instead we are forced to face the range that seeks to deprive us of peace and everything else that is valuable in life. Unfortunately, it is in human nature to allow evil, it then stands up against humanity. It then destroys and kills. It launches aggressions and breaks people's lives. You and us have already fought together against such evil. You and us already have the experience of defeating the evil that is generated by human nature. I'm not saying there will be no more wars after the war ends. No, it is impossible to completely erase evil from human nature. Yet it is in our power to guarantee with words and deeds that the light side of human nature will prevail. Decide you and us, share and distance above anything else. Thank you for your attention. Thank you for your support and living. British Parliament, two years ago, I thanked you for delicious English tea. And I will be leaving the Parliament today, thanking all of you in advance for powerful English planes. Almost five o'clock. God bless Great Britain and long, long live the King, Slavo Green. London, you are watching images inside the UK Parliament. Volodymyr Zelensky making an impassioned speech thanking London for being with Kiev from the start. He says freedom will win, victory will change the world. With me in studio, our correspondent, Batja Leventhal, International Affairs Correspondent, watching developments here with me, so much to unpack. A bit of humor, references to tea, references to planes, but a serious message from Volodymyr Zelensky at a very crucial time. Absolutely. There's just so much to unpack here. And I think it also starts with just having a look at the ambience. In Westminster Hall, a place that is stooped in rich history. We're talking about one of the oldest buildings on the entire Parliament estate. The room was packed. And as you can see very clearly, people were standing. This is normally a room that has very specific seating put there. And it really alludes to the fact that not only was this a surprise visit with no preparation, but just the amount of people were not just talking about parliamentarians, dignitaries, journalists that really wanted to pack into the room and listen to the Ukrainian president giving that speech. I don't think any other person, at least right now, where the world is in terms of heads of state or government, could have amassed such a huge crowd in Westminster Hall. In terms of his speech, some of the words that I kept writing down that he kept mentioning, there is no doubt that the word that definitely stole the show was the word brave. He keeps bringing up the word brave, freedom, good over evil, as well as human rights, justice, bringing to justice those that are ending up or at least going to end up being punished for their crimes. Earlier today when the MPs were speaking in Parliament, we heard quite a few members of the opposition questioning the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, whether or not once this war does come to an end, if Russian military personnel are going to be fined guilty by the ICC of war crimes, this really comes at the most crucial, crucial time for Ukraine that is starting to amass, or wants to amass, at least a big offensive on the eastern side of the border with Russia. We're talking about the fact that Ukraine has very old and very outdated weaponry, and that is exactly why he was there. And as you mentioned, Kuma, I think it was brilliant on Vladimir Zelensky's part as any good narrative or rhetoric or speech would come with is to bring some kind of humor to something that, yes, is so serious and so detrimental and so urgent, but to relate strong English tea to the strong amount of claims that they are hoping to get from Britain really is something to take there. The fact that the UK announced just shortly before the speech that there's going to be the launch of a training program for Ukrainian pilots, it will be a NATO standard fighting jet. This is a massive, massive undertaking. The fact that they are gonna be training on NATO planes is no doubt going to send a very strong message to Russia. Ukraine, as we know, has been waiting to possibly have some kind of member status in NATO as well as in the European Union. It would also mean that this is the first time that not only could Ukraine be getting modern jets, but the fact that it's the first time that Ukrainian pilots and soldiers will be training on Western aircraft. So the speech really coming at such a crucial and critical time for Ukraine. And obviously what we noticed in parliament, what we're noticing here, it's really broad a sense of unity to the UK where there is so much divide between opposition as well as the conservatives and those that are in power. Everyone seems to be pretty much on the same page here. Very interesting developments. And of course, another address happening in Brussels. Tomorrow we are likely to be hearing more of the same. A lot of thank yous and also waiting for news on continued support for Ukraine. Butch 11th, all thank you so much for breaking that all down. Moving on to other news now. And President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has arrived at one of the many disaster zones in Turkey following Monday's deadly earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria. It's the third day of search and rescue operations. The combined death toll has now risen to more than 11,000 with more than 40,000 people injured. The World Health Organization is warning the number of deaths is expected to rise dramatically, freezing whether conditions are complicating rescue efforts with more than 100 aftershocks hitting the region. A state of emergency has been declared for the next three months in Turkey. In Syria, aid agencies are particularly worried as more than 4 million people were already relying on humanitarian aid. Here's more from some of the earthquake survivors. We experienced a great fear. Water and natural gas pipes burst in the house. We have serious damages all over the walls. We wanted to go inside again.
