The Duchess of Edinburgh has become the first member of the British royal family to visit Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February 2022.

Sophie's trip is intended to "demonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine, and in particular women and children who have been impacted by the war", Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

The duchess, representing the Crown, visited a mass grave in the town of Bucha, where victims of a massacre during the Russian occupation were buried, and laid flowers at a memorial to those who died.

She later met children at a Save the Children centre in the town of Irpin and held talks with Ukraine's first lady, Olena Zelenska.
