The Princess of Wales comforted a Ukrainian mother who wept as she described how she fled the horrors of the war with Russia.⁠ ⁠ “I wish we could do more” said the princess during a meeting with families at the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre.⁠ ⁠ Praising their bravery, she said: “You’re showing a resilience, I’m overwhelmed by how strong you all are.”⁠ ⁠ The centre has been the hub of the Ukrainian community in Berkshire for years but has now focused much of its efforts in supporting Ukrainians arriving in the UK, and delivering medical equipment and humanitarian aid to those on the front line.⁠ ⁠ The princess posed for a picture with Bolebrukh’s son on her lap and did the same with another little girl.⁠ ⁠ When Kate arrived she was greeted by a group of officials led by the centre’s chairman Antonio Gresko, and after receiving the traditional Ukrainian welcome gifts of bread and salt, she told the group “having a charity centre like this is a lifeline”.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in bio for the full story
