Prince Harry Makes Surprise Visit to Kyiv to Support Thousands Wounded in Ukraine War

Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, to support war victims and promote rehabilitation initiatives for those injured in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Invited by the Ukrainian government and inspired by Olga Rudnieva, founder of the Superhumans Trauma Centre, Harry and his Invictus Games Foundation team aim to develop strategies to aid recovery for thousands of disabled veterans. He emphasized the importance of keeping public attention on the human impact of the war, noting the challenge of desensitization to ongoing suffering. This visit marks a more direct engagement with the realities of the war’s devastation compared to his previous visit to Lviv. Harry's efforts align with Ukraine's policy of using sport as a key component of rehabilitation for wounded military personnel. The trip also follows his recent meeting with King Charles, highlighting a period of increased royal activity in support of humanitarian causes.
