Drawing on Churchill‘s iconic ‚we shall fight them on the beaches‘ wartime address in June 1940, he said Ukrainians will fight against Moscow‘s forces on land, sea and in the air.

Mr Zelensky said: ‚We will not give up and we will not lose. We will fight to the end, at sea, in the air, we will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost.

‚We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets.‘

He said Ukraine was fighting a ‚war that we didn‘t start and we didn‘t want‘ as he told MPs ‚we do not want to lose what we have, what is ours‘.
