Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met with King Charles following an emergency summit with European leaders in London, where he was urged to repair his relationship with President Trump.
The Ukrainian leader, wearing all black, was pictured shaking hands with a beaming king outside of his Sandringham country estate after traveling from the British capital by helicopter.
Locals had gathered outside the state in the Norfolk countryside to try and catch a glimpse of President Zelensky, with some waving blue and yellow Ukrainian flags.
Zelensky has looked to bolster his relationship with his European allies two days after his planned talks with President Trump ended in a furious shouting match.
For the most part, he received a hero’s reception, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer telling other world leaders the success of Ukraine was “vital to the security of every nation here and many others too.”
However, Italian PM Giorgio Meloni — who has courted close ties with Trump — was among those calling on Zelensky to mend fences with the US or risk a “West divided” over the Ukraine war with Russia, now into its fourth year.
