Duke says serving others has saved him as he announces support for veterans through his Invictus foundation
Prince Harry laid a wreath at a flower and flag memorial to Ukraine’s war dead in Kyiv’s Maidan Square during a surprise visit to support the country in its fight against Russia, as well as its thousands of seriously injured veterans.
Harry said he wanted to do “everything possible” to help the recovery of the thousands of military personnel who have been seriously injured in the three-year war against Russia.
During the trip to Kyiv, after an invitation from the Ukrainian government, Harry and a team from his Invictus Games Foundation gave details of new initiatives to support the rehabilitation of the wounded, with the eventual aim of providing help to all areas of the country.
The work of the foundation has become a passion for the prince, and he admitted the purpose that it had given him after leaving the military had “saved me”.
