Prince Harry visits war-torn Kyiv

Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv via an overnight train from Poland for an unannounced visit to the Ukrainian capital.

The Duke of Sussex met with senior military officials and celebrated medics, including Yuliia 'Taira' Paievska, who documented the siege of Mariupol.

In an impassioned address, he called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to 'stop this war' and praised the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

The visit comes amid heightened tensions as the world's focus shifts toward the ongoing energy crisis in the Middle East.
