President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also addressed the parliamentarians who gathered at the meeting on Tuesday, for the first time since the beginning of the war. The Verkhovna Rada finally banned pro-Russian parties in Ukraine and appealed to the US House of Representatives and Senate with a call to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, TSN says.

While Prime Minister Boris Johnson is delivering his appeal via video link , people’s deputies are holding the British flag and a banner with words of gratitude for the help, Johnson announces its increase. In the near future, new military equipment and weapons from the UK should arrive in Ukraine. London, says Johnson, seeks to strengthen Ukraine’s military power so that no one encroaches on it anymore.

“In the coming weeks we will be sending you Brimstones, these are anti-ship missile systems, as well as armored vehicles to evacuate people from captured territories and threatening areas … We have a new support package for 300 million pounds. The package will also include radars to determine the location of artillery and drones aimed at your cities to strengthen your infantry and your offensive forces, ”the Briton notes in the speech.

The West admits that they were wrong when they overreacted eight years ago to the annexation of Crimea and the war that Russia unleashed in the Donbass, says Johnson. There is no right to repeat the mistake. He believes that Ukraine will triumph, and the struggle of Ukrainians for their freedom will go down in history.

“They will tell their grandchildren and great-grandchildren about this, that the Ukrainians have taught the whole world that the brutal force of the night aggressor cannot harm the people who have chosen freedom. They will say that the Ukrainians, by their stubbornness, by their sacrifice, proved that guns and tanks cannot suppress a nation fighting for its independence. That is why I believe and know that Ukraine will win,” Johnson added.

Since the beginning of the war, President Zelensky has addressed many parliaments of the countries of the world. Today, for the first time, he came to the Verkhovna Rada and called on parliamentarians to be united, not to waste time on secondary laws, quarrels and PR.

“Today we have one party – Ukraine, one faction – Ukraine, one mono-majority – Ukraine . The only one. Strong. Independent. And everything that does not help or harm her should be left in the past. Just like the hopes of someone who is not here now, to sit out somewhere. Today, the absence of a deputy in the Verkhovna Rada justifies only 2 things: his work abroad or in the regions for the interests of our state, or his death – also for the interests of the state. She doesn’t need the rest. The rest follow the Russian ship,” the president said.

The Verkhovna Rada finally banned all pro-Russian parties. The law, adopted as a whole, halts the activities of the Opposition Platform for Life, the Shariy Party, the Nashi Party, the Opposition Bloc and lesser-known political forces that had ties to Russia and were often financed from Moscow.

The deputies also appealed to their colleagues from the United States, urging Washington to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. If the United States does this, then other countries will have to significantly increase sanctions against Russia.
