‘We Want to See Him in Ukraine’: Zelenskyy Hopes to Invite King Charles on State Visit

THE GUARDIAN: Exclusive: Ukrainian leader says he has ‘a very good relationship’ with British monarch, who has supported his country

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed that he plans to invite King Charles on a state visit to Ukraine as early as this year, which would make him the most senior royal to travel to Kyiv since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The Ukrainian president said he had a close relationship with the king, whom he has met on numerous occasions, including when he gave a public show of support after Zelenskyy’s explosive visit to the White House last year.

In an interview with the Guardian, Zelenskyy said: “Today I want to invite him [the king] very much. I don’t know from the point of security. Yes, of course, we want to see him in Ukraine very much. I don’t know how it will be this year, if it’s possible, but of course we want to see him.”

Zelenskyy said Charles had continued to support Ukraine, but refused to divulge exactly how. “It’s up to his majesty to answer on such questions,” he said. » | Pippa Crerar and Luke Harding | Tuesday, June 8, 2026
