Prince Harry visits Lviv to support Ukrainian veterans at Invictus Games
During his visit, Prince Harry attended wheelchair rugby competitions and met with Ukrainian participants, many of whom use adaptive sports as part of their recovery from war-related injuries.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, visited Lviv on November 15 to offer support to Ukrainian veterans and service members competing in the national Invictus Games. The event, held at the initiative of Lviv Oblast Governor Maksym Kozytskyi, aimed to highlight the role of adaptive sports in the recovery process for war-injured individuals.
Around 500 veterans and service members registered for the competition, with 60 of them selected to represent Ukraine at the international Invictus Games in Birmingham, UK, in 2027. The visit marked Harry's fourth trip to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began in 2022. In April 2025, Harry had already visited the Superhumans rehabilitation center in Lviv, and in September of the same year, he returned to the country. In April 2026, he also visited Kyiv and Bucha, attending the Kyiv Security Forum.
