Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has visited Brussels, after a tour of European capitals to push for more weapons to repel Russia's invasion.

Addressing the European Parliament to standing ovations, he told EU leaders that his country's fight is not just to defend Ukraine, but Europe's way of life.

Speaking to the media in Brussels Zelensky said the visit to London "achieved results" relating to the supply of long-range missiles and the training of pilots.

However the UK's defence secretary has told reporters there will be no immediate transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine.

Ben Wallace says it is “more realistic and more productive” to think about planes as a long-term aim.

Meanwhile, Dutch PM Mark Rutte has told the BBC the West has to make sure it is not risking "an Article 5 direct confrontation between Nato and Russia" over the delivery of jets.
