Prince Harry's Surprise Ukraine Visit

Prince Harry's Surprise Ukraine Visit

Harry's visit included meetings with celebrated medical workers and a call for the United States to honor its international treaty obligations.

The prince stressed that he was speaking as a former soldier rather than a political figure, echoing the humanitarian work of his mother, Princess Diana.

His comments were seen by some as a thinly veiled critique of President Donald Trump's approach to the conflict.

Trump responded by stating that Harry 'is not speaking for the UK' and dismissed the royal's advice.
