Prince Harry attended Ukraine's Invictus Games in Lviv on November 15. He showed his support for Ukrainian defenders during wheelchair rugby competitions, according to Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration.
"This is especially touching because Prince Harry himself founded the Invictus Games in 2014. And now he has come to Ukraine to stand alongside our defenders, for whom sports have become an important part of recovery after being wounded," Kozytskyi recalled.
The regional administration head stressed that around 500 participants from across the country registered for the 2026 All-Ukrainian Invictus Games in Lviv.
He said once the competitions are over, a national team of 60 veterans and service members will be formed. Kozytskyi noted that they will represent Ukraine at next year's international Invictus Games in Birmingham.
"I am especially pleased that the wheelchair basketball and rugby competitions were held at the Lviv Regional Children's and Youth Sports School. As part of the regional program, we made the facility fully accessible," Kozytskyi stressed.
Amid this, the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration thanked Prince Harry for supporting Ukrainian service members and all Ukrainians.
