LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Prince Harry has arrived in Ukraine for a surprise visit in support of wounded service members.

Harry’s representatives confirmed they were in the capital, Kyiv, on Friday, though they declined to discuss the prince’s schedule for security reasons.

This is the second time Harry has visited Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full scale invasion in 2022. He made a trip to the western city of Lviv in April.

“We cannot stop the war but what we can do is do everything we can to help the recovery process,” Harry told the Guardian newspaper while on an overnight train to Kyiv.

Man, that is some bad English. I know he's a good guy and all. But he seems to be perpetuating the Windsors' reputation for not being intellectual heavyweights.
