Summary
Charles, 77, interrupted his Balmoral summer break with Queen Camilla, 79, to send Ukraine an Independence Day message expressing encouragement and hopes for peace, security and prosperity.
In the note released through the British Embassy in Kyiv, the King praised Ukraine's “indomitable national spirit” and said he was encouraged by the enduring friendship and close bonds between Britain and Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky shared the message on social media Tuesday, calling the King's words “deeply moving and exceptionally meaningful.”
The message extends Charles's visible support for Ukraine after he hosted Zelensky at Buckingham Palace in March, ahead of a new UK defence agreement, and highlighted Ukraine again in his May speech to Congress.
