Prince Harry Visits Lviv and Tells Ukrainian Soldiers They Will Win the War

Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Lviv, Ukraine, where he told Ukrainian soldiers that they are going to win the war with Russia, according to The Guardian. The trip was his fourth visit to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. He had previously visited Kyiv in September 2025 and in April 2026.

In Lviv, the prince met wounded veterans and medics. He also addressed a conference on treating people injured in war, organised by the Superhumans Center, a clinic in the city that specialises in the care and rehabilitation of war wounded. The centre provides prosthetic limbs, artificial arms and legs, to people who lost their own limbs in battle.

Speaking in Lviv, Harry said: "You're going to win the war and then you're going to be set up for success."

Harry spent a decade in the British army, including service in Afghanistan, where he worked as a helicopter pilot. In 2014 he founded the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded military veterans.

The next Invictus Games will take place in Birmingham, England, next year. Ukraine is aiming to send about 60 competitors, which would be its largest team at the Games so far. Ukrainian veteran Valery Odainyk competed at the Invictus Games in Canada in 2025.

Harry said the Games could one day be held in Ukraine, once the war is over and Ukraine has won.
