Royal Support: King Charles Invites Zelensky for Meeting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is traveling to London to attend a summit on Ukraine, will meet with King Charles III of the United Kingdom today. This sudden invitation is being seen as a clear sign of UK’s support for Zelensky, especially after his recent disagreement with US President Donald Trump.
King Charles of the United Kingdom will meet with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at Sandringham on Sunday, offering him a rare show of support. This invitation comes just a day after Trump’s insulting behavior towards Zelensky at the White House caused uproar globally.
INVITATION TO TRUMP TWO DAYS AGO King Charles had invited US President to the UK just two days ago through Keir Starmer.
In response to the invitation, Trump had said, “This is really special, it has never happened before. I will soon be visiting the UK.”
UK STANDS BEHIND ZELENSKY
The meeting between King Charles and Zelensky will take place after Zelensky’s meeting with Prime Minister Starmer. Both the King’s and Prime Minister’s gestures are seen as a clear sign of UK’s support for Zelensky after their rough patch with Trump.
FOLLOWING THE QUEEN’S FOOTSTEPS The decision to invite Zelensky to Sandringham is King’s most explicit political action since taking over from Queen Elizabeth. While his mother did her best to stay away from politics, Charles is taking the risk of breaking that tradition by inviting Zelensky before Trump’s visit.
TENSION AT THE WHITE HOUSE
During a heated discussion in the Oval Office between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, a previously planned joint press conference was canceled, leading Zelensky to depart from the White House. Starmer, describing the dispute between Zelensky and Trump as a “turning point” in the war against Russia, said he plans to double the commitment to provide Ukraine with capacity, training, and aid to strengthen their position.
