Charles’ written comments marked the first anniversary of the 100-Year Partnership between the UK and Ukraine, as the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion approaches at the end of February. Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has travelled to Ukraine, according to reports, for a forum of the centenary partnership, to discuss the details of future cooperation between the two nations. “I wish, above all, to convey my profound hope that Ukraine can achieve a just and lasting peace that safeguards its security, sovereignty and prosperity, in a way that Ukrainians deserve. “We stand with you.”Charles has publicly supported Ukraine since the early period of Russia’s invasion, meeting Ukrainians who have sought sanctuary in the UK at many events, and his recent Christmas Day broadcast featured the choir Songs for Ukraine Chorus. It will involve co-operation in healthcare and tackling disease, as well as agricultural technology and the space industry.
