Prince Harry's visits to Ukraine
Prince Harry has visited Ukraine twice during the full-scale war. He first made a surprise appearance in Lviv in April 2025, where he visited a clinic providing care to wounded soldiers.
Later, on September 12 of the same year, he arrived in Kyiv, where he visited the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, met with veterans, stopped by a residential building destroyed in a Russian attack, and paid tribute to fallen soldiers at the memorial in Maidan Nezalezhnosti.
On the fourth anniversary of the full-scale war, Prince Harry addressed Ukrainians with an important message, expressing admiration for the resilience of the Ukrainian people and once again reaffirming his support for Ukraine.
