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)

UK to phase out Russian oil imports by end of year, Kwarteng says
NEW – the UK will phase out the import of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022.
This transition will give the market, businesses and supply chains more than enough time to replace Russian imports – which make up 8% of UK demand.
