Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv Thursday on an unannounced trip to the Ukrainian capital.
Harry, whose visit comes as the country endures its fifth year of war with Russia, said it was “good to be back in Ukraine” upon arrival at the city’s main railway station, where he greeted a line of officials awaiting him on the platform.
Upon arrival, the Duke of Sussex said Ukraine was “a country bravely and successfully defending Europe’s eastern flank,” and that “it matters that we don’t lose sight of the significance of that.”
The prince also spoke on Thursday at a security conference, where he delivered a keynote address and told Russian President Vladimir Putin there is “still a moment, now, to stop this war,” British news outlet ITV reported.
“Years into this war, with immense losses and limited gains, it is increasingly clear that this path offers no victor — only more loss,” he continued.

“President Putin, no nation benefits from the continued loss of life we are witnessing.”
Harry added that he was not there as a politician but “as a soldier who understands service, as a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict, and as a friend of Ukraine who believes the world must not grow used to this war or numb to its consequences.”
He went on to address the Trump administration, calling on Washington to do more and reminding it that it had a duty to protect Ukraine after the country agreed to give up its nuclear weapons.
“This is a moment for American leadership — a moment for America to show that it can honour its international treaty obligations — not out of charity, but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability,” he said.
According to NBC News, he is also expected to visit the HALO Trust, a charity that deactivates landmines and was supported by his late mother, Princess Diana.
He is also scheduled to spend time with Ukrainian participants in the Invictus Games, which his foundation of the same name runs to help wounded veterans recover through sport, the U.S. outlet added.
In his speech, he also praised the Ukrainian people’s resolve and the innovative response of the country’s military, including its advanced drone capabilities.
Prince Harry last visited Ukraine in September 2025, where he met with veterans at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine. His first visit to the war-torn country was in April 2025, when he went to Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine, to visit a rehabilitation centre.
Forget more for Ukraine. We’d be happy with less for russia.
Who cares what this entitled, spoilt, rich man child has to say.
Just seeing his or his wife’s face am,es me cringe.
If he was not born into Royalty, know one would know who he is, period.
So rich coming from a trust fund baby whose families wealth came fro past wars and aggressions. Royal family are just another form of parasites.
Why doesn’t Britain do more to help Ukraine? That’s the thing about them Limies, they talk and they talk and they talk; but when have they ever accomplished anything.
Now he is telling TRUMP what to do. Why do we bother with a manchild with a grade 8 education?
He chose Maegan over royalty so what position of power is he speaking under with respect to Ukraine. He has no status – someone should tell him
Almost as if he was a working Royal. But he is not. He is just Harry. He gave up the right to represent the Royal Family.
Why is he not addressing Zelenskyy, and telling him to stop the war, and start negotiating in good faith. What does Harry think the US can do? Trump gave it a go, but could not convince Zelenskyy to give up.
The riches the royal family accumulated on the backs of the working class should cover the Ukraine war efforts nicely. Why is Harry not donating that?
Maybe Europe should step up more considering it is their Eastern Flank that is being defended there ,Harold
