King Charles expresses continued support for Ukraine

King Charles has expressed his continued support for Ukraine, four years after the Russian invasion.

The King told Ukrainians that the British “stand with you,” as the country continues to fight back against the unprovoked Russian aggression.

King Charles’s full message reads:

“As we celebrate the first anniversary of the 100-Year Partnership between the United Kingdom and Ukraine, I do pray that the flourishing bonds between our two countries may bring some hope and moral support at this most difficult time.

“Ukraine’s most valiant strength in the face of such appalling hardship and pain is an extraordinary example to the world, and I am constantly impressed by the sheer bravery, courage, and resilience shown by the Ukrainian people.

“As we also look ahead to the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion of your beloved country – a time of great anguish, I know, for many families across Ukraine and the world – my wife and I continue to keep you all in our heartfelt thoughts and prayers.

“I wish, above all, to convey my profound hope that Ukraine can achieve a just and lasting peace that safeguards its security, sovereignty and prosperity, in a way that Ukrainians deserve. We stand with you.”

His Majesty’s message was released to mark the first anniversary of the 100 Year Partnership between the UK and Ukraine.

Since the Russian invasion, the King and many members of the Royal Family have shown their support for Ukraine.
