Prince William faces fury over ‘racist’ Ukraine war comments
Global News
Comments made by Prince William about the devastating war in Ukraine, while on a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London, have again raised allegations of racism.
Prince William is facing backlash for his comment that the Russian war on Ukraine is “very alien to see,” with many taking to social media to call out the royal for what they deemed a “racist” comment.
William made the remarks while on a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London Thursday. He and Kate were there to meet with volunteers and hear about ongoing war relief in the U.K.
Footage from the event showed that the prince said: “Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing. The news every day, it’s almost unfathomable to actually witness it, to see it.
“For our generation, it’s very alien to see this in Europe. We’re all right behind you.”
Human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid questioned William’s inability to recognize the history of the British Empire.
“How do you have a 1000-year history of colonialism, a literal 100-year war, launch 2 World Wars, allow multiple genocides, and bomb a dozen nations since 9/11 alone — yet make this type of a statement?” Rashid asked on Twitter.
