King Charles III officially opens Ukrainian Welcome Centre

Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski, Eparch, or Bishop, of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic community in the UK, spoke to us on the day His Majesty King Charles III and the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, visited the Ukrainian Welcome Centre in London. The Centre was set up to provide guidance and assistance to the temporarily displaced Ukrainians. "One of the touching moments was when His Majesty was talking to some of these young mothers with their children and the expressions on the children's faces. They maybe didn't recognise who His Majesty was but they knew that people were paying attention to them and it was a wonderful experience. "Others were just overwhelmed by the fact that they woke up this morning and they had no idea that today they would be meeting the First Lady and His Majesty the King. A lot of people were showing their emotions at being greeted both by His Majesty and the First Lady of Ukraine."
