President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that he plans to invite King Charles III on a state visit to Ukraine, provided the security situation allows it.

According to Ukrinform, he made these remarks in an interview with The Guardian.

Zelensky noted that he has a close relationship with the British king, whom he has met on several occasions, particularly when the king publicly expressed his support following public disputes during the Ukrainian president’s visit to the White House last year.

“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,” Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader noted that King Charles III continues to support Ukraine, but declined to disclose details. “It’s up to his majesty to answer on such questions,” he said.
