Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with King Charles III for the first time at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday afternoon during an unexpected visit to England.
The pair took part in a private meeting that lasted 30 minutes, according to the palace. Zelensky claimed that meeting the king was a"great honor," and Charles told Zelensky that his country had been worried about Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion."We've all been worried about you and thinking about your country for so long, I can't tell you," Charles said, according to CNN.
Zelensky, who also met with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and addressed members of Parliament on Wednesday, said ahead of the meeting with Charles that it would be a"truly special moment" for himself and Ukraine, given his support for the country. Zelensky also thanked Great Britain for its support of Ukraine over the past year and the British government for the military aid it sent the country. Zelensky's visit marked the second time the Ukrainian president has left the country since Ukraine was invaded almost a year ago.
