Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky will speak live to Britain’s Parliament via video link on Tuesday afternoon about the brutal invasion of his country by Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the ensuing refugee crisis in Eastern Europe.
Mr Zelensky will address MPs in the House of Commons from 5pm after the speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, had screens returned to the chamber for the first time since the pandemic’s work-from-home orders were in place in order to host him.
