Ukraine president’s echoing of Winston Churchill in emotional speech to British MPs reverberates across the front pages

The Ukrainian president’s unprecedented video vow to “fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets” brought MPs to their feet to applaud – an equally unprecedented ovation in the Commons chamber where Britian’s wartime leader made his some of his most acclaimed orations.
