A historic event took place today: the president of Ukraine met with the new British monarch, King Charles III. British media published excerpts from the leaders' first handshake. The details of the dialogue between Volodymyr and Charles III are still unknown. A joint statement or announcement on the UK government website is expected.
"It is an honour for me to be the first president of Ukraine in the history of Ukrainian-British relations to be honoured by the British monarch with an audience. I am grateful to His Majesty for the warm welcome and supporting Ukrainian citizens who have taken refuge from the war in the United Kingdom," Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This evening, Zelenskyy will move to Paris, where he will meet with Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz.
