Ukraine-Russia: Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking to the EU parliament in Brussels today, urged them to accept Ukraine as a member while giving a defiant one-fisted salute and declaring 'glory to Ukraine' - sparking a long round of applause. The Ukrainian president, who has become a symbol of courageous defiance in recent days, said his countrymen are sacrificing their lives 'for values, for rights, for freedom' that Europe represents - adding that he 'would like to hear you say that Ukraine's choice to be part of Europe is also your choice.' Zelensky spoke via videolink from Kyiv, a city which is facing down a 40-mile Russian convoy of tanks and artillery seemingly intent on besieging it and bombing it into submission. He also spoke just hours after the country's parliament claimed Belarusian troops have entered the war with an attack on the north-western city of Chernihiv, as Vladimir Putin's close ally Alexander Lukashenko helps to tighten the noose.
