King Charles receives Zelenskiy at Windsor Castle

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with Britain's King Charles on Monday at Windsor Castle.

"The King welcomed the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to Windsor Castle for lunch," said a statement issued by the royal family.

The two have last met at Sandringham estate in March of this year.

Charles has previously expressed his support for Zelenskiy, speaking of the "determination and strength" of the Ukrainian people in the face of an unprovoked attack from Russia.

During his visit to the UK, the Ukrainian leader is also expected to meet Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the speakers of both houses of parliament.

In March,  Zelensky met King Charles at Sandringham, after attending a summit of European leaders on ending the war in Ukraine.

As the Ukrainian president arrived at the King's Norfolk residence, local residents, some holding Ukraine flags, gathered outside the estate to witness his entrance by helicopter.

Zelensky visited London for the talks on European defence, after a fiery exchange with US President Donald Trump in the White House.

Ukraine's president was "warmly received", and the meeting lasted just under an hour, royal sources said. The pair were served tea in Sandringham's Saloon room.
