KYIV: Ukraine said Saturday that it aimed to one day host the Invictus Games, after the sporting event’s founder, Prince Harry, made a surprise visit to Kyiv.
The Invictus Games Foundation, which supports wounded veterans and military personnel, did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.
Ukraine has been unable to host major international competitions since Russia invaded in 2022, but wants to attract cultural events once the war is over.
The Invictus Games is among the highest-level sporting events for wounded soldiers and veterans, and has been held seven times since its inception in 2014.
“Now our dream is for the Invictus Games to come to Ukraine. We have the means to do this,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said Saturday following a meeting with Prince Harry in Kyiv the day before.
