‘I appeal to you and the world with simple and yet most important words: combat aircraft for Ukraine, wings for freedom.
‘London has stood with Kyiv since day one, from the first seconds and minutes of the full-scale war, Great Britain you extended your helping hand when the world had not yet come to understand how to react.
