Britain's King Charles has met with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy at his Sandringham estate in eastern England.
Charles welcomed Mr Zelenskiy to the estate for just under an hour on Sunday, immediately after the latter’s attendance at the defence summit on Ukraine in London.
A military helicopter carrying Mr Zelenskiy could be seen flying low and descending over the estate at around 5.25pm.
Local people, some holding Ukraine flags, gathered outside the estate to try and catch a glimpse of the arrival.
A motorcade then took the president through the grounds of the estate to Sandringham House, where Charles greeted him at the doorstep.
They embraced and shook hands before chatting briefly and posing for photos.
The British monarch then warmly received Mr Zelenskiy in the house’s Saloon room, with tea being served.
A helicopter departed the estate at around 6.35pm.
The pair previously met during Mr Zelenskiy’s surprise visit to the UK in February 2023 in a historic audience at Buckingham Palace.
They also shook hands and had a private summit at the European Political Community summit in Oxfordshire in July 2024.
Their latest meeting came after Mr Zelenskiy’s unprecedented public clash with US president Donald Trump and his vice president JD Vance in the White House’s Oval Office on Friday.
A day prior, Charles invited Mr Trump to the UK for an unprecedented second state visit.
