THE first anniversary of Vladimir Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine was marked by a minute's silence across Britain today as the King praised the "remarkable courage and resilience" of Ukraine's people.
The silence at 11am was part of a series of moments to mark 12 months since the start of the war. King Charles issued a message to mark the milestone, saying: "It has now been a year that the people of Ukraine have suffered unimaginably from an unprovoked full-scale attack on their nation. They have shown truly remarkable courage and resilience in the face of such human tragedy.
"The world has watched in horror at all the unnecessary suffering inflicted upon Ukrainians, many of whom I have had the great pleasure of meeting here in the UK and, indeed, across the world, from Romania to Canada.
"Earlier this month I met President Zelensky at Buckingham Palace to express my personal support for the people of Ukraine. It is heartening that the United Kingdom, along with its allies, is doing everything possible to help at this most difficult time.
