The King and the British people were praised for their “invaluable” commitment to Ukraine as the monarch visited a British University where research is supporting the embattled nation. Charles visited Imperial College London’s Centre for Injury Studies to highlight the UK’s support to injured service personnel in Ukraine. It is helping to develop technology that will protect soldiers on the battlefield, working in partnership with Unbroken, Ukraine’s National Rehabilitation Centre and developing prosthetic limbs and the essential rehab for military and civilians injured by munitions.
During the visit Charles hailed former Army captain and parasport athlete David Henson as “remarkable” when he was put through his paces with his “robotic legs” demonstrating the centre’s work helping those who have lost limbs. When Charles held a video call with Dr Hnat Herych, chief of general surgery at Unbroken, he told the monarch: “Your Majesty, on behalf of my colleagues and my country I wish to express by deepest gratitude for the United Kingdom’s unwavering support for Ukraine, in these turbulent times.
“Britain has not only remained our steadfast ally but has also demonstrated true global leadership in defending Ukraine and standing up for freedom. “The commitment of Your Majesty and the British people has been invaluable to us and we…hope for Europe’s support in these critical times.”. His words came after Russia and the US started talks to broker a peace deal without Ukraine or Europe present, prompting speculation about the future of Europe’s security.
