Zelenskyy tells UK MPs Ukraine needs 'wings for freedom'

The Ukrainian president's appeal comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the UK will train Ukrainian pilots on "NATO-standard fighter jets.''

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited to UK on Wednesday in a bid to secure more advanced weapons as Kyiv braces for an expected Russian offensive.

In an address to parliament he urged British lawmakers to supply his country with "combat aircraft."

"We … will do everything possible and impossible to make the world provide us with modern planes to empower and protect

pilots who will be protecting us," Zelenskiy told hundreds of lawmakers in Westminster Hall.

He presented the helmet of a Ukrainian pilot to Speaker inscribed with the words, "we have freedom, give us wings to protect it,"

Zelenskyy said he hoped it would become a symbol of the next coalition providing fighter aircraft to Ukraine.

"We know freedom will win, we know Russia will loose, and we really know that victory will change the world," Zelenskyy said to loud applause.

Earlier he was met by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Stansted airport before they travelled together to 10 Downing Street in London for talks.

"President Zelenskyy's visit to the UK is a testament to his country's courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries," Sunak said in the statement ahead of their meeting.

The Ukrainian leader was also expected to meet King Charles and visit Ukrainian troops training in the UK.

It's only his second trip outside Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in February last year. He visited the United States, with a stopover in Poland, in December.
