Watch live as Volodymyr Zelensky addresses the UK parliament today, 8 February, in his first visit since Russia invaded Ukraine.
The visit comes after Rishi Sunak announced plans to train Ukrainian pilots so they will be able to fly ophisticated Nato-standard jets, which was a key request from Mr Zelensky.
The Ukrainian president will also visit troops.
New sanctions on those who have helped Vladimir Putin build his personal wealth and firms which have profited from the war are also expected to be announced.
The prime minister will offer longer-range firepower to help counter Russia’s ability to strike at Ukraine’s towns and energy facilities.
“President Zelensky’s visit to the UK is a testament to his country’s courage, determination and fight, and a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries,” Mr Sunak said.
