Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. 

"We’ve all been worried about you and thinking about your country for so long, I can’t tell you," King Charles said. 

The pair greeted each other by shaking hands in the Palace's 1844 Room, and Zelensky said it was "a great honor to be here." 

The King went on to say that he heard the Ukrainian President had addressed both Houses of Parliament earlier on Wednesday. 

Zelensky responded that British lawmakers had been a "big support," and the King responded, "I'm so glad."

The pair met in private for a half-hour conversation about the war and Britain's support of Ukraine, according to Buckingham Palace. They were joined by the King’s principal private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, Andriy Yermak, and the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba.

He is slated to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Paris later Wednesday.
