Zelensky made a plea for fighter jets from the West. He presented the helmet of one of his most successful pilots with a message which reads: “We have freedom, give us wings to protect it”.
According to Downing Street, Ben Wallace, Defense Secretary, had been tasked with the investigation of the kind of planes the United Kingdom (UK) may be able to make available.
The spokesperson however said that this was a “long-term” solution.
Several MPs and peers filled the Westminster Hall to listen to Zelensky speak.
