Translator emotional at Zelenskiy speech

STORY: European Union lawmakers, many wearing standwithUkraine T-shirts bearing the Ukrainian flag, others with blue-and-yellow scarves or ribbons, listened to Zelenskiy’s passionate speech.

The Ukrainian leader said 16 children were killed on Monday (February 28) in Russian attacks across his country.

Zelenskiy has remained in Ukraine’s capital to rally his people against the invasion, which Moscow calls a "special operation". As he spoke on Tuesday (March 1), a Russian armoured column was bearing down on Ukraine's capital.
