December 22, 2025, the humanitarian organization World Jewish Relief (“World Jewish Relief”) announced that King of the United Kingdom Charles III made a donation to support its aid programs for Ukraine.
Charles III
Charles III is the current monarch of the United Kingdom and the head of state of several Commonwealth countries.
Charles III (full name — Charles Philip Arthur George) ascended the throne on September 8, 2022 after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Before that, he was the longest-serving heir apparent in British history — over 70 years — and held the title of Prince of Wales.
He is known as a supporter of interfaith dialogue, environmental issues, cultural heritage, and charity. For many years, he has supported humanitarian and Jewish charitable organizations, including World Jewish Relief, where he serves as a royal patron.
His official title
The full official title of Charles III is as follows:
“His Majesty King Charles III, by the Grace of God King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.”
World Jewish Relief
This announcement appeared without loud announcements and diplomatic formulas. But that is precisely why it was noticed. At the end of the year, when the world’s attention is scattered among crises, World Jewish Relief recorded the fact: aid to Ukraine continues — and the British crown is involved.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, the organization has built a large humanitarian network. According to its data, more than 375,000 people in nearly 400 settlements in Ukraine have received aid. This includes the restoration of homes after missile and drone strikes, psychological support, assistance to the elderly, and those left without means of subsistence.
World Jewish Relief’s CEO Paul Anticoni directly emphasized the significance of the royal contribution:
“We are deeply grateful to His Majesty and the King Charles III Charitable Foundation for this generous contribution and for his ongoing support as our patron.”
According to him, it’s not just about money, but about the ability to maintain functioning programs at a time when humanitarian needs are not decreasing but growing:
“As the crisis in Ukraine deepens and millions continue to suffer, such donations are vital. They allow us to bring hope and practical, transformative assistance exactly where it is needed most.”
World Jewish Relief’s assistance is not limited to the territory of Ukraine. About 14,000 Ukrainian refugees in the United Kingdom have received support in learning English, adaptation, and employment. For many, this has been a step from temporary refuge to sustainable living.
In the message from December 22, the organization also reminded that Charles III has been its patron since 2015, and the cooperation began back in the early 2000s. It’s a long journey — without sharp turns and public campaigns.
Timing is also important. The end of 2025 is a moment when war fatigue becomes noticeable even in Western societies. That’s why the message from World Jewish Relief sounded like a reminder: humanitarian support is not an emotion, but a commitment.
Without slogans.
Without press conferences.
But with a concrete effect — for hundreds of thousands of people.

It is such facts — with live words, numbers, and context — that form the real picture of international support for Ukraine, which continues to be monitored by NAnews — News of Israel | Nikk.Agency.
