Prince Harry was struck by the vast number of flags honoring the fallen Ukrainians. On September 12, he made an unannounced visit to Kyiv at the invitation of the Ukrainian government.

During his trip with the Invictus Games Foundation team, the Duke of Sussex held several meetings with Ukrainian politicians, philanthropists, journalists, and veterans.

The prince also visited the people's memorial at Independence Square, which deeply moved him.

He wished to lay a wreath and spend some time alone, so to avoid drawing attention, he ventured further in.

«Honestly, this is one of the saddest things I have ever seen, but also one of the most beautiful», — he said in an interview with the Guardian.
