Zelenskyy Tours Europe as Ukraine Prepares Counteroffensive Against Russia Denied the opportunity to address Eurovision on Saturday, Vladimir Zelensky has nevertheless been granted audiences with some of Europe's most powerful leaders in the last few days. A warm embrace between the Ukrainian President and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday morning at Chekars. British admiration meeting with Ukrainian gratitude. Winston Churchill made many of his famous speeches in World War Two from this room. And in the same way today, your leadership, your country's bravery and fortitude are an inspiration to us all. You did a lot. Your government and His Majesty, the King and of course your people, your society where we're a temple from all our hearts from Ukrainians. The UK will provide Ukraine with air defence missiles and attack drums, in addition to the storm shadow long range ...

Eurovision 2023: Decision to ban Volodymyr Zelenskyy from making address 'disappointing' So, very good morning to you, and I do want to talk about Eurovision in just a moment. But before we get on to that, a couple of stories around today that I want to ask you about. Firstly, comments by the former Conservative Home Secretary, Preeti Patel today, saying that Rishi Sunak needs to offer more hope and optimism for conservatism, or she says he risks presiding over a managed decline of the party and defeat of the next election. Is she right? So, you know, I have a marginal seat. I am reliant on the grassroots of the party to help me. They are determined, as I am, and I think most people within the party, to support the Prime Minister in the endeavours that he has to try and grow the economy and tackle the issues that are the people's priorities. So, I think what they want us t...

Ukraine War: Zelenskyy says Ukraine will not attack Russia It was a highly anticipated visit and Berlin pulled out all the stops. Warmly welcoming, arguably the world's most in-demand president for the first time since Russia invaded his country. There were no signs of the tension which have at times fizzled between Germany and Ukraine over the last year. A man on a mission to get more weapons. Zelensky could hardly complain about almost 3 billion euros of new military aid and a promise of more to come. We are also very clear on our message to Ukraine, but at least also to the Russian aggressor. We will support Ukraine as long as it is necessary. That is to say, we hope that the war will end quickly. Also because military support, support with weapons, will enable Ukraine to defend its country. An ally which previously angered Kiev with its hesitancy to send arms, Germany is now...

Ukraine War: 'Putin is feeling more and more isolated' Well, Ukrainians are not losing it, and with the support they've had from the West, they will not lose it. The question is, can the Ukrainians win? The Russians are not going to win, but can the Ukrainians win? And if so, when? And of course, I think we all recognise, and particularly having listened to recently to President Zelensky, that until they get all the weaponry that they're asking for, main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery and the like, they won't be able to mount a proper counter-offensive and crack the Russians. So, long answer, I'm afraid, Kate, to a short question. Ukrainians will not lose this. The Russians cannot win it. What we have to do is help the Ukrainians to win on the battlefield. But we bring other pieces into this chess game, don't we? We bring in China, we bring in Belar...
