KYIV – Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Sept 12 to support Ukrainian soldiers wounded in the war with Russia, according to the Guardian.
Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv via overnight train early on Sept 12, the paper reported, posting photos of him in a luxury carriage and being greeted on the platform in the Ukrainian capital.
His visit coincides with a trip to Kyiv by new British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper, her first overseas visit since taking up the role last week.
Prince Harry was in Ukraine alongside a team from his Invictus Games Foundation, which supports wounded servicemen.
“We cannot stop the war, but what we can do is do everything we can to help the recovery process,” he told the Guardian.
It reported that he was due to meet Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and around 200 Ukrainian veterans.
