London – British Prince Harry arrived in Ukraine on a surprise visit to support the wounded service members.
Harry representatives confirmed that they were in the capital, Kiev, on Friday, although they refused to discuss the prince’s schedule for security reasons.
This is the second time that Harry has visited Ukraine since the beginning of the full invasion of Russia in 2022.

“We cannot stop the war, but what we can do is to do everything we can to help in the recovery process,” Harry told the Guardian newspaper during a lira train over Kiev.
Harry, an inventor of the British army warriors who served in Afghanistan, is the founder of Invictus games, an event in the style of disabled people designed to inspire the old military warriors all over the world while working to overcome the battlefield injuries. Ukraine offers bids to host games in 2029.
The ArcheWell Foundation, which was established by Harry and his wife, Megan, announced this week that it donated $ 500,000 for projects that support the injured children from Gaza and Ukraine. Funds will be used to help the World Health Organization with medical evacuation operations and to finance developing businesses for young people with serious injuries.
The Guardian said that Harry will visit the National Museum of Ukraine’s History in World War II, spend time with 200 veterans and meet Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Sfridinco.
His visit coincided with a trip to Ukraine by British Foreign Secretary, Vette Cooper, who announced a new set of sanctions in the UK targeting oil revenues and Russian military supplies.
Cooper said the visit is a display of solidarity with the Ukrainians facing an intense attack from Russia – including 6500 drones and missiles in July, 10 times last year.
Harry’s appearance in Ukraine follows a four -day trip to the United Kingdom, where his father, King Charles III, met for the first time in 19 months. The meeting was considered a first step in reforming the cold relations between Harry and other members of the royal family, which deteriorated after he and his wife, Megan Markle, abandoned her royal duties and moved to California in 2020.
Harry and his father met last time in February 2024, when the prince flew to London after receiving news that Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. Harry spent about 45 minutes with Charles before the king flies to the drug Sandrinhham Contrame to recover from his treatment.
The last trip to Prince Harry to Ukraine included a visit to the Superhumans Center, the LVIS Orthopedic clinic that treats military and wounded civilian individuals. The center provides artificial limbs, restorative surgery and psychological assistance for free.
Harry’s visit comes on Friday while Russia escalated its war against Ukraine.
This is a week after the largest air attack in Russia on Ukraine since its comprehensive invasion began more than three years ago – an attack in which the main building of the Ukrainian government was exposed. It also comes a few days after many Russian aircraft entered the airspace of NATO member Poland – the country traveled Harry to reach Ukraine.
