Britain’s Prince Harry arrived in Ukraine on Friday for a surprise visit in support of wounded servicemen.
It’s the second time that Harry has visited the country, which is among the nations bidding to host the Invictus Games in four years’ time.
The sporting competition, which he founded, is a Paralympic-like competition for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans.
Harry’s representatives confirmed his arrival.
“We cannot stop the war but what we can do is do everything we can to help the recovery process,” Harry told the Guardian newspaper while on an overnight train to the capital.
Harry served for 10 years in the British Army before setting up the Invictus Games Foundation.
He was invited to the capital by the Ukrainian government, Harry said, and received permission from the British government and his wife before travelling.
The trip comes at the end of Harry's four-day visit to Britain from his home in California, where he lives with his wife Meghan and their two children.
Since he stepped down as a senior royal in 2020, Harry's relationship with his father has been strained after he publicly criticized the royal family.
In a sign of a thaw in relations, the pair held their first meeting in 20 months on Wednesday.
