Zelenskiy compares Ukraine’s fight for survival to Britain’s fight against the Nazis in second world war
Zelenskiy says he is addressing all the people of the UK – a country with a big history.
Ukraine is a big country too, he says.
He says he would like to tell people about the 13 days of war – a war they did not start. Ukrainians do not want to lose what they have, he says – just as Britons did not want to lose their country when it was attacked by Nazis. – (The Guardian)
