Sophie visited at the request of the FCDO to demonstrate solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war
Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie lights a candle as she visits Saint Andrew’s Church in the town of Bucha Sophie, who is married to Prince Edward, met the president and first lady of Ukraine – Volodymyr Zelensky and Olena Zelenska – on Monday morning and delivered a message to them on behalf of the King.
Sophie met survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and torture who shared their stories, and talked to children who have been returned to Ukraine after being forcibly separated from their families and deported by Russia as part of a sustained campaign to erase Ukrainian culture, the FCDO said. The duchess also demonstrated her support for Ukrainian women who have played important roles in the conflict and community recovery, in a meeting with volunteers who help their communities cope with the aftermath of attacks with mental health care activities for children.
“Their stories are sad. I hear many stories like this, sadly, from around the world. But I appreciate their time and their openness.” “Rather, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with all survivors to secure justice and holistic redress, and ensure that this crime isn’t an accepted part of conflict.
