Prince Harry, who has arrived in Kyiv, urges world not to lose sight of war in Ukraine – media

British Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, made an unannounced visit to Kyiv and called on the world not to lose sight of Russia’s war against Ukraine, stressing the need to support Ukrainians and international partners, ITV News reported.

He arrived in the Ukrainian capital by overnight train from Poland on Thursday morning and is set to take part in the Kyiv Security Conference, where senior Western defense and government officials have gathered.

"It’s nice to be back in Ukraine," Prince Harry said upon arrival.

He said he wanted to "remind people back home and around the world what Ukraine is facing, and to support the people and partners doing extraordinary work every hour of every day in incredibly difficult conditions."

Harry is expected to stress in his conference address that the war is not only a struggle for territory but also "about values," and to warn the international community against indifference to this and other conflicts.

At the Kyiv Security Conference, Prince Harry plans to draw on his military experience as well as the activities of the Invictus Games, which he founded. He will stress that the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine will be long-lasting and felt "for many years to come."

The Duke of Sussex also intends to characterize the abduction of Ukrainian children by Russian forces as a "systematic and deliberate" act, saying such actions will have legal consequences at the International Criminal Court.

As part of the visit, Prince Harry will also visit projects connected to the work of The Halo Trust charity, which is engaged in demining activities in Ukraine.

"I look forward to meeting friends and reuniting with the Invictus community, as well as supporting those helping Ukraine win this fight," Prince Harry said.
