I'm not normally a worrier, but why would Zelensky request a meeting with King Charles?

You are assuming that he asked, rather than that it was offered as a show of support.

He requested it, said outside no 10 he was grateful the King agreed. Confirmed by BBC.
I expected it to be a gesture by the King too. That Zelensky asked, is what's odd.
I wondered if he's stepping down. Sacrificing himself to please the American government. If he feels that he can't work with them, he may have no other choice.

I’m not sure why he’d say to the King. He’s answerable only to the Ukrainian people. I’m not even sure constitutionally he can step down during wartime as there can’t be elections.

Thank you for clarifying. Interesting, I'm glad it's happening though.

I have no idea, but Charles isn't political so I doubt he's seeking advice from him.
Just have to wait and see, certainly hope he stays. Deputy would step up?

Igotjelly · 01/03/2025 19:51

I suspect it might have been lost in translation, several reputable news outlets are reporting that the King did indeed invite Zelensky, including the independent 15 mins ago https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/king-charles-trump-zelensky-starmer-ukraine-b2707246.html

Screw you Vance, Trump and Putin, in no particular order

Maybe he wanted to flick the bird at trump!! I don't think it's anything sinister.

Sending Olena and their children so much love, it must be awful for them at the moment.

Zelenskyy is the literal opposite of toxic masculinity.

β€œI do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision."

Llttledrummergirl · 01/03/2025 20:12

In my opinion, Trump is the biggest coward that ever set foot on this planet.
Trump is also particularly unintelligent and behaves in a manner I associate with cavemen.

He also dresses like a four year old on their first day at school, by the end of the day.

Llttledrummergirl · 01/03/2025 20:13

Zelensky is an inspiration on dignity, calm and restraint.
