“Her Royal Highness met President Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as well as women, men and children impacted by the war.” the statement added.


They continued, "At the United Nations Survivor Relief Center in Kyiv, the Duchess learnt about the work of the UN’s Population Fund which operates in 12 cities across Ukraine, providing vital psychosocial and legal support to those in need, especially Conflict-Related Sexual Violence survivors."

“Her Royal Highness also met female volunteers who are helping their communities cope with the aftermath of the attacks through facilitating mental health care activities for children,” the post further reads.
