The Duchess of Edinburgh has become the first member of the Royal family to visit Ukraine since Russia invaded more than two years ago.
The mother of two, 59, travelled to the country on Monday to “show her solidarity” with the men, women and children affected by war.
She met Volodymyr Zelensky and Olena Zelenska, Ukraine’s president and first lady, delivering a message on behalf of the King.
The trio discussed how best to support survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and the women peacebuilders who are working to ensure Ukraine’s recovery.
The Duchess later met survivors of sexual violence, displaced women and volunteers who are helping their communities cope with the trauma of the invasion by providing mental health care activities for children.

We need to show we still care for the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and stand by them 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Правильно, надо больше давать Украине оружия, что бы она могла больше убивать людей в России. Ведь Великобритания так ненавидит Россию.

This is the first time I've even seen/heard of her. She's a great public speaker. Measured, thoughtful, intelligent and kind. It's so good to hear that they're already planning in for a future without war is over. This is important to show that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.. and it's bright ❤

Dear, being intelligent finding our the truth from indépendant sources and politicians ,and being against this rottened US proxy conflict between US vs Russia, is certainly not being « troll or Puttler » stupid names. UK gov is usual lapdog of the US gov, ,same for Irak sick war too, killing so many people. Shame to all brainwashed war mongers ,who would not even last a week on a front line but cocky coward enough to praise war sitting far away from the front line. A PEACE treaty is the ONLY solution to stop the suffering. And …avoid the WW3 nuclear ..!

Львовский ТЦК подтвердил задержание медиков. Там заявили, что им "вручили повестки, согласно действующему законодательству Украины". Олена Владимировна ваш муж убил тысячи украинских мужчин, пожалуйста сжальтесь над украинскими детьми больными раком , отпустите медицинских работников!!!!

My wife is from Ukraine and it was almost impossible to get her to UK before the war. And when she came we were refused to rent a house by some landlords because she was a Ukrainian emigrant who they didn’t trust. Most Ukrainians have always been illegal residents in UK. Deportations were a normality for Ukrainians in UK. Our Ukrainian friend who is a citizen of UK had his Ukrainian daughter refused an entry to UK - home office explained - it is not good reason to visit her father. They feared that daughter is a potential economic immigrant and will stay here. Now British politicians and royals show such a comparison as if Ukrainians are their best friends. It is understood that they have to fight till the last Ukrainian. This is their mission in this global confrontation with Russia.
