The contrasting pictures of Hamburg and Bucha

On Friday King Charles III visited Hamburg.

The Guardian article below paints a powerful picture of reconciliation between two countries who were at war 80 years ago.

Today the war in Ukraine has destroyed so much of the possibility of peace and reconciliation that the world so badly needs right now.

Compare the pictures of Bucha in Ukraine with those of King Charles’ visit to Hamburg yesterday. Yesterday was the first anniversary of Ukraine’s retaking Bucha.
