The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have heard personal accounts of the war during a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London.

The couple did not go empty-handed and took homemade brownies and granola bars with them from Kensington Palace to give to volunteers.
Both wore pin badges displaying the Ukrainian flag and Kate also wore a jumper matching the blue of the nation’s flag.
The Cambridges and other members of the Royal family, including the Queen, have donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal.
While at the centre they spoke to DEC chief exec Saleh Saeed, who has overseen efforts which have raised more than £120 million in the UK.
William and Kate also heard how there have been specific requests for medicines for hospitals in Ukraine, as they were shown the large number of pharmaceutical goods amassed in the centre.

In the days following the invasion, the Cambridges sent a message of solidarity to Ukrainians.
They tweeted: ‘We stand with the President and all of Ukraine’s people as they bravely fight for that future’.
The tweet was accompanied by a picture of the couple meeting Ukraine’s leader in October 2020.
