Boris Johnson hailed Ukraine's “finest hour” as he addressed the nation's parliament on Tuesday (3 May), suggesting they will win the war against Russia.

The prime minister also suggested that this moment in history will be remembered “for generations to come” as he slammed Vladimir Putin's military campaign.

“This is Ukraine’s finest hour that will be remembered and recounted for generations to come,” Mr Johnson said.
