Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Prince Harry and a team from his Invictus Games non-governmental organization arrived in Kyiv on Friday to visit with Ukrainian service personnel battling severe injuries sustained in the war with Russia.
King Charles' second son said he wanted to do "everything possible" to help wounded military personnel recover, many of whom had life-changing injuries.
The visit was at the invitation of Superhumans, a Ukrainian organization that provides prosthetics and uses the latest techniques to treat and rehabilitate large numbers of Ukrainians with significant and extensive physical and mental injuries.
Harry and the team from his Invictus Games Foundation, which runs a biennial international athletics competition for disabled military personnel, will launch new projects to support rehabilitation efforts in Kyiv with a longer-term ambition of rolling them out across the country.
Ukraine does not publish data on military casualties, but tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are believed to have lost at least one limb, either on the battlefield or in bombardment of towns and cities, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
