Prince Harry has arrived in Kyiv on an unannounced visit. The former member of the British royal family stressed that, through his presence in the Ukrainian capital, he wants to “remind people in the country and around the world” of what Ukraine is facing and support those who are fighting for peace. Harry is set to take part in the Kyiv Security Forum.

As the government in Kyiv has announced, this is already Prince Harry’s third official visit to Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of the country in 2022. The British prince has once again shown support for Ukrainian soldiers and partners who continue to resist Russian attacks.

In an interview with Britain’s ITV News, Harry said that he wants to “remind people in the country and around the world what Ukraine is going through and support the people and partners who are doing extraordinary work every hour of every day in extremely difficult conditions.”

A video has appeared online showing the British prince stepping off a train at the railway station in Kyiv after arriving from Poland, where he was welcomed by a Ukrainian delegation.

“It is good to be back in Ukraine,” Prince Harry said during a press conference held immediately after his arrival in Kyiv.

According to British media reports, during his stay in Ukraine Harry is expected to take part in the Kyiv Security Forum, where he will most likely deliver remarks.

In his interview with ITV News, Harry called Ukraine “a country bravely and effectively defending Europe’s eastern flank.”

“It is important that we do not lose sight of how significant that is,” he added.

As Ukrainska Pravda reports, the prince is also expected to meet with demining experts from the HALO Trust charity, of which his mother, Princess Diana, was a patron.

Harry, who served in the British Army for ten years, also plans to visit beneficiaries of his Invictus Games foundation, which helps wounded veterans recover and rebuild their lives.

Prince Harry first surprised Ukrainians with an unannounced visit in April 2025. At that time, Queen Elizabeth’s grandson visited Ukrainian soldiers wounded at the front who were staying at a rehabilitation clinic.

In September of the same year, he traveled to Kyiv at the invitation of the Ukrainian government. Among other places, he visited the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, where he met with veterans and announced support measures for Ukrainians affected by the war.

On the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the prince addressed the Ukrainian people directly, emphasizing their resilience in the struggle to regain their freedom.
