King Charles has released a heartfelt statement marking one year of conflict in Ukraine. The monarch spoke of the "unimaginable suffering" the people of Ukraine have faced in the face of attack since Russia invaded the European country in 2022.
The King began: "It has now been a year that the people of Ukraine have suffered unimaginably from an unprovoked full-scale attack on their nation. They have shown truly remarkable courage and resilience in the face of such human tragedy.

"The world has watched in horror at all the unnecessary suffering inflicted upon Ukrainians, many of whom I have had the great pleasure of meeting here in the U.K. and, indeed, across the world, from Romania to Canada."
The monarch, 74, then went on to address his meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Buckingham Palace and spoke of the United Kingdom's efforts to support the nation over the past 12 months.
