Prince Harry in Ukraine meeting Invictus 2027 hopefuls
British royal says he's 'taken a risk' in his fourth surprise visit to Ukraine since 2022 to meet wounded veterans.
Prince Harry, the fourth visitor to Ukraine since the ongoing full-scale war, recently paid a visit to Lviv. His primary aim was to attend the All-Ukrainian Invictus Games and show his support for Ukrainian defenders. According to the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi, the prince actively participated in the wheelchair rugby competitions during the event.
Kozytskyi emphasized that this visit was particularly meaningful, as Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014. He explained that the prince's presence beside the defenders, who find solace in sports following their injuries, is deeply touching. This year, approximately 500 participants from Ukraine took part in the All-Ukrainian Invictus Games held in Lviv.
From the competition outcomes, a team of 60 veterans and servicemen will represent Ukraine in the international Invictus Games scheduled to be held in Birmingham in 2027.
The basketball and wheelchair rugby competitions were held at the Lviv Regional Children's and Youth Sports School, making the event inclusive for all. Kozytskyi expressed his gratitude to Prince Harry for his support of the Ukrainian people and their soldiers.
