Prince Harry has had a busy week.

As previously reported, the polarizing figure reunited with his father on Thursday after about 19 months, spending an unspecified time in London opposite King Charles.

But that wasn’t the only major stop Harry made on his trip overseas.

On Friday, the Associated Press confirms that this member of The Royal Family actually stopped over in Ukraine to visit with wounded service members who have been fighting that country’s ongoing battle with Russia.

Specifically, Harry touched down in the capital city of Kyiv.

This visit marked the second time Harry has visited Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full scale invasion in 2022. He also made a trip to the western city of Lviv in April.

“We cannot stop the war but what we can do is do everything we can to help the recovery process,” Harry told the Guardian newspaper while on an overnight train to Kyiv.

The father of two has some experience in this area, of course.

Harry, The Archewell foundation set up by Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced this week that it had donated $500,000 to projects supporting injured kids from Gaza and Ukraine.

The money will be used to help the World Health Organization with medical evacuations and to fund work developing prosthetics for seriously injured young people.

Earlier this year, meanwhile, Harry expressed hope that he and Charles could one day get on better terms following years of estrangement over his and Markle’s battle to restore security protection in the United Kingdom.

“There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family,” Harry told BBC in May.

“This current situation that has been on our ongoing for five years with regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that’s left.”
