Prince Harry Visits War-Torn Ukraine

Prince Harry Visits War-Torn Ukraine

Speaking as a former soldier, Harry emphasized the human cost of the war and condemned what he called 'systematic war crimes' committed by Russian forces.

The visit coincided with the European Union’s approval of a $105 billion loan package for Ukraine, which President Zelenskyy hailed as a fundamental decision.

President Donald Trump quickly dismissed Harry’s comments, stating the Prince 'is not speaking for the UK.' Harry also met with Ukrainian veterans and families of children abducted by Russia during his unannounced trip.
