Prince Harry makes a surprise visit to Kiev to support Ukraine

Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Kiev on Thursday, April 23, 2026, announced by a government agency and the Ukrainian Railways.

A video recording was published on social media, showing the prince descending from the train and embracing a woman on the platform. Harry also greeted the people who came to welcome him, stating: "I am glad to be back in Ukraine." This is not his first visit to Ukraine, as he previously had meetings with soldiers fighting against the Russian invasion. In April 2025, he visited a rehabilitation center for injured soldiers together with his wife, Meghan Markle. During this two-day visit, Harry will visit Halo Trust, a demining charity supported by his mother, Princess Diana. This visit underscores his commitment to Ukraine in the context of the current conflict.
