Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska has met with King Charles III in London.

The wife of the Ukrainian president said this on the Telegram messaging app, Ukrinform reports.

"I had the honor to personally meet His Majesty King Charles III. Together we visited the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in London, where the London-based Ukrainian Welcome Center is also located. It is not the first time that His Majesty finds time and kind words to support forced migrants from Ukraine: he has recently visited them in Scotland, and earlier in Romania," Zelenska said.

The First Lady thanked on behalf of all Ukrainians for the assistance that the United Kingdom had been providing and would continue to provide to Ukraine. "Because here in London, at every step, during every meeting, I feel how this support is getting stronger, and together with it, our friendship is getting stronger," she added.

Zelenska is visiting London. She attended a reception hosted by Queen Consort Camilla on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. In addition, Zelenska delivered a speech in the UK parliament.
