Prince William was mocked by Russia
The 40-year-old prince made a secret visit to the border earlier this week, where he thanked the troops for “defending our freedoms” – but his efforts drew ridicule from Maria Zakharova, the information director at Russia’s foreign ministry. who referred to him as “son of Charles”.
Britain has been supplying Ukraine with weapons – including depleted uranium shells for Challenger 2 tanks – during the ongoing conflict with Russia.

The Prince of Wales was in Warsaw, Poland on Thursday (23/03/23) where he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Charles said: “It has been a year since the people of Ukraine suffered unimaginably at the hands of an unprovoked all-out attack on their nation.
“You have shown truly remarkable courage and resilience in the face of such a human tragedy.
“The world has watched in horror at all the needless suffering inflicted on Ukrainians, many of whom I have had the great pleasure of meeting here in the UK and indeed around the world, from Romania to Canada.
“It is encouraging that the UK, together with its allies, is doing everything it can to help at this most difficult of times.
“So I can only hope that the outpouring of solidarity from around the world will bring not only practical help, but also strength from the knowledge that we stand together.”
