Britain's Prince Harry was in Ukraine on Friday for a surprise visit in support of troops wounded in Russia's ongoing war against its neighbor. Harry's representatives confirmed that he was in the capital, Kyiv, on Friday, though they declined to discuss the prince's schedule for security reasons.
This is the second time Harry has visited Ukraine since the start of Russia's full scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022. He made a trip to the western city of Lviv in April.
"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 Kyiv.
