Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with King Charles at Sandringham after crisis summit on Ukraine
Baku, March 2, AZERTAC
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has held a meeting with the King Charles at Sandringham, according to Sky news.
The Ukrainian president flew to the royal residence in Norfolk via helicopter after attending a security summit with Sir Keir Starmer and numerous world leaders in central London.
People - some holding Ukraine flags - gathered outside Sandringham to try to witness Mr Zelenskyy's arrival. A military helicopter could be seen flying low before descending over the estate at around 5.25pm.
Pictures released after the meeting show Charles and Mr Zelenskyy shaking hands by the entrance to the sprawling estate.
The pair chatted briefly before heading inside, where they posed for more photographs.
The Sandringham visit marked the end of a difficult week for Mr Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian president's visit to see Donald Trump at the White House was cut short on Friday after their meeting in the Oval Office descended into a fiery shouting match.
The pair had been due to sign a minerals deal and hold a joint press conference - but both events were called off after their tense exchange, fuelled in part by comments from JD Vance.
As White House officials scrapped the day's schedule, Mr Trump described the meeting as "very meaningful" in a post on his Truth Social platform.
He wrote: "I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations."
