US EditionKing Charles welcomes Zelenskyy at Windsor Castle in show of support for Ukraine
- On Friday, King Charles hosted President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Windsor Castle ahead of a Coalition of the Willing summit, inviting him after returning from the Vatican on Thursday.
- Framed as backing for Ukraine, the visit aligned with Mr Zelensky's push for funding and weapons, while the Coalition of the Willing summit on Friday includes Mark Rutte and the Nato secretary-general.
- Met in the Quadrangle by a guard of honour from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a Royal Salute, heard Ukraine's national anthem, and held a private meeting inside Windsor Castle.
- For Mr Zelensky it was the first ceremonial welcome in Britain despite prior audiences with the King, and Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce accelerated delivery of 100 additional air defence missiles to Kyiv.
- The King's sustained interventions since February 2022 position him as a vocal backer of Ukraine, with Mr Zelensky's chief of staff crediting his remarks for influencing the US president's shift.
