“In Britain, the King is an air force pilot — and in Ukraine today, every air force pilot is a king,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying.

He went on to say that the United Kingdome “is marching alongside us to the most significant victory of our lives. Any aggressor who attacks international order will know what awaits him after we win together.”

Kate Middleton, Prince William, and other members of the royal family have expressed their support for Ukraine in the midst of the conflict with Russia.
