LAST WEEK, the House of Commons sat in silence to listen to the words of a man uniting his country to confront the first invasion of a European state since the Second World War.
It was a historic moment.
President Zelensky became the first foreign leader to address the chamber of the House of Commons. Dressed in army fatigues and broadcasting from Kyiv, where he remains despite more than a dozen assassination attempts, his words were a powerful lesson in leadership.
That is courage and integrity.
It has now been over two weeks since Putin’s army unleashed a wave of airstrikes and missiles as he declared war on Ukraine.
Thousands of innocent Ukrainians have been murdered at the hands of Russian forces: children in kindergartens; pregnant mothers at maternity hospitals; families fleeing along supposedly safe humanitarian corridors.
And it’s not over. As you read this, shells are raining down on homes and hospitals. New cities are being encircled. The list of Putin’s war crimes is stacking up.
