Direct War in Ukraine
Ukraine Volodimir Zelenski, moving target of mercenaries
The Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, will address the British Parliament on Tuesday afternoon and will surely take advantage of the occasion to
once again demand the creation of an "exclusion zone" in his country
, despite the express rejection of that option by the "premier " Boris Johnson, considering that it would lead to an escalation in the conflict.
Johnson has launched a diplomatic offensive this week with his
"six-point" action plan
and with meetings with international leaders in London.
Hours before Zelenski's videoconference intervention, Johnson received the leaders of the Visegrad group (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia) at Downing Street to discuss
the creation of an international humanitarian coalition to help Ukraine.
Johnson speaks almost daily with Zelensky and invited the Ukrainian president to intervene by videoconference in Westminster, with the approval of the president of the House of Commons, Labor
Lindsay Hoyle
, who anticipated that
more than 500 deputies will be present during the "intervention historical"
.
From his refuge in Kiev, Zelensky intervened last week before the European Parliament and sent a pre-recorded video to the US Congress on Saturday.
Despite the fact that his interventions pose a risk to his security (apparently, he has dodged three assassination attempts by elite Russian troops),
Zelensky has not hesitated to continue using the hotline with European politicians
and is taking particular advantage of his contact with Johnson to claim logistical help and weapons.
The "premier" has meanwhile received harsh criticism for the United Kingdom's policy towards refugees: only 300 visas have been issued to date, in contrast to the 1.4 million hosted by the countries of the Visegrad group (more than one million in Poland) and 183,000 in other European countries.
It is estimated that the number of refugees now exceeds two million.
The United Kingdom has been accused of "lack of humanity" by France, which has warned of the
risk of a critical situation in Calais
if the British Government does not create a special consulate to process requests from Ukrainians who aspire to reunite with their families on the other side of the English Channel.
Defense Minister
Ben Wallace
himself has admitted that the British government has acted slowly in the face of the refugee crisis, which may be
more than three times greater than that triggered by the war in Syria
in 2015. In statements that created In much confusion on Monday, Boris Johnson defended the right to "verify" who enters his country and ruled out the possibility of a UK-bound humanitarian corridor.
