Prince Harry’s visit to the All-Ukrainian Invictus Games
"Prince Harry attended the All-Ukrainian Invictus Games in Lviv! He personally supported our soldiers during the wheelchair rugby competition," said the head of the Regional State Administration.
He noted that this was particularly moving, as it was Prince Harry himself who founded the Invictus Games in 2014.
"And now he has come to Ukraine to stand alongside our defenders, for whom sport has become an important part of their recovery from injuries," wrote Kozytskyi.
