BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: President Zelensky addresses UK MPs

President Zelensky repeated an appeal for a no-fly zone over Ukraine

President Zelensky of Ukraine has given an unprecedented address by video link to the British parliament in which he appealed to the UK to increase its sanctions on Moscow. He said Ukrainians would not give up, but continue fighting for their land - whatever the cost.

We hear about further efforts to evacuate Ukrainians in the cities where Russian shelling has so far prevented them from leaving.

Our correspondents and defence experts explain the developments on the ground, the military tactics Russia has deployed, and how Ukraine has been resisting the Russian advance.

The UN says two million people have already left Ukraine. We hear more accounts of those who have fled the fighting and arrived in the neighbouring countries. We also speak to civilians across Ukraine who have decided not to leave their homes and cities.
