It is reported that the British authorities agreed to the meeting in response to a request that came the Ukrainian president, writes The Guardian.
A short statement from Buckingham Palace said: “This evening, His Majesty The King received the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the Saloon at Sandringham House.”
The Palace added that “the president was warmly received, and the meeting lasted just under an hour.”
No other details of the meeting were provided.
The first time the heads of state met at Buckingham Palace was in 2023. Last year, on the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the King delivered a strong message in support of Ukraine, speaking of the brutal aggression that Ukrainians have faced and hailing the resilience and strength of the Ukrainian people.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, a summit of international leaders on support for Ukraine was held in the British capital, London, on March 2.

No details are needed. Zelensky asking at short notice to meet the king, says it all. Unlike the Trump gang who wanted Zelensky to sign this extortion deal before they would let him meet Trump.
It must’ve been a welcome change for Zelensky to go from a meeting with brats in the sandbox in the WH, to real meetings in Europe with persons who are dignified and level-headed.
