Amid the ongoing war, the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy just sat down with The Guardian to dish on all his hopes, and the secrets to his good relationship with King Charles from Britain.

In his chat he not only addressed the ongoing visits he’s had, but also hailed him for his continued support despite the explosive US visit he had just last year.

During his conversation with the outlet, Zelenskyy was quoted saying, “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.”

Moreover he also dropped a bombshell but refused to go into detail saying, “It’s up to his majesty to answer on such questions,” when asked about insight into the continued support he’s receiving from the British monarch.

Before concluding he also said, “we have a very good relationship, you know. Today, in the morning, when I spoke by phone with my wife, with all respect to Keir [Starmer], but my wife said best regards to his majesty first, of course, and then to the prime minister, of course. So of course, we, and Ukraine, love his majesty.”
