An excerpt from the Guardian, February 2023: 'The Churchill connection Several times in the speech, Zelenskiy mentioned his first visit to London as Ukraine's leader, in October 2020, before the Russian invasion. Near the start, he recalled being taken to the Churchill War Rooms in London and being invited to sit in the wartime leader's armchair, before being asked what he felt. At the time, Zelenskiy said, he could not explain it. Now he understood: "It is a feeling of how bravery takes you through the most unimaginable hardships to finally reward you with victory." It was again perhaps an obvious but notably resonant parallel: you in the UK were also once at war against your will and facing significant odds, which you overcame.'

In October 2020, President Zelensky visited #ChurchillWarRooms in London. Invited to sit in Churchill's chair, he was asked what he felt. Later, to the UK Parliament, Zelensky described 'a feeling of how bravery takes you through the most unimaginable hardships to finally reward you with victory'.
