to such an address. in a great european capital now within range of russian guns, president volodymyr zelensky is standing firm for democracy and for freedom. in his righteous defence, i believe he has moved the hearts of everybody in this house. at this moment, ordinary ukrainians are defending their homes and their families against a brutal assault. and they are, by their actions, inspiring millions by their courage and their devotion. and i think today one of the proudest boasts in the free world is, "ya ukrayinets — i am a ukrainian." so this is a moment for us to put our political differences aside, mr speaker, and i know i speak for the whole house when i say that britain and our allies are determined to press on, to press on with supplying our ukrainian friends with the weapons they need
