Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy to address British MPs via video link – watch live

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, will address UK MPs via video link from Kyiv on Tuesday afternoon, when he is expected to plead for more arms and to repeat a call for a no-fly zone even though it has been rejected by Nato

They really shouldn't have someone translate live. It's brutal for the person doing it, the person speaking, and for the people listening. Is a latency of 5 minutes really that big a problem, if in an opportunity to truly grasp the importance and tone of the message.

[SpaceMonke]

People criticising the translator have clearly never attempted simultaneous interpretation before.

If you have a safe and comfortable life outside Ukraine, then enjoy it and be grateful because you do not know when that ends. Salute Ukrainian soldiers for their bravery. The president of Ukraine is a real life hero RESPECT .

I am not a Ukrainian, but they are my heroes . A huge salute

[CentreLine]

The Ukrainian president is a living hero.

[Budanevey]

He requested a no-fly zone from the UK.
That is too dangerous an ask.

[NofirstnameNolastname]

Lots of pressure on the translator and he feels it apparently and that's fair. but this completely destroyed the impact of the delivery of what Zelensky says unfortunately :(

Not sure if what I'm hearing is him trying to control his emotions, if so I'm sorry.

[HerAeolianHarp]

We must do so much more to help Zelensky and his people. This is hard to take.

[mickwall]

I wonder if he realised he's addressing the financial branch of the Duma?

[leenacw]

Applause and pats on the back. Not enough!

[realitate]

Come on they don't need only weapons...they need actual support.

[maxberger]

All very well Borris et al BUT WHAT ABOUT THE VISA SITUATION - should be ashamed of yourselves! Well done Poland.

Strange how so many people are critical of interpreters' efforts, but can just about speak their native language as is.

If you have difficulty understanding or listening, this is more a testament to your listening skills than anything else.
