UKRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelensky came under fire yesterday for allowing a member of the far-right Azov Battalion to address the Greek parliament.

The session, which had already been subjected to a boycott by the Greek Communist Party (KKE) over Mr Zelensky’s continued purges of communists and left groups, aimed to raise support for military aid.

Trade unionists and communists have blocked shipments of Nato weapons bound for Ukraine for almost two weeks and many were teargassed and detained during protests on Wednesday.
