Well crafted, Parliament loves references to WWII and Churchill, Zelensky had three messages:-
Thank you for past support,
Thank you for present support,
And thank you for future support.
All of which he can count on, oh and here is a military aircraft pilot's helmet. Heroes.

I'd shatter the railway crossing to prevent Russia to Ukraine military goods entering, and leave the bridge to allow Russian troops to leave.
If many more troops enter, then blow the bridge.
Else, target headquarter buildings - command and control. Preferably whilst full.

Russia putting pressure on Ukraine to go early.
Black soils are really odd - no strength when wet, hard as concrete when dry.
If Ukraine go when wet, then new tanks get stuck, and Russia has a turkey shoot.
