Kyiv, Ukraine: Prince Harry made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Friday to support Ukrainian soldiers wounded in the war with Russia, the Guardian reported.

Harry arrived in Kyiv via overnight train early on Friday, the paper reported, posting photos of him in a luxury carriage and being greeted on the platform in the Ukrainian capital.

His visit coincides with a trip to Kyiv by new British foreign minister Yvette Cooper, her fist overseas visit since taking up the role last week.

The prince was in Ukraine alongside a team from his Invictus Games Foundation, which supports wounded servicemen.

"We cannot stop the war but what we can do is do everything we can to help the recovery process," Harry told the Guardian.

It reported he was due to meet Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and around 200 Ukrainian veterans.

Harry, who will turn 41 on Monday, met his father King Charles III for the first time in nearly two years during a visit to Britain earlier this week.

The prince had become increasingly estranged from the rest of the royal family since stepping down from his royal duties and moving to California with his wife Meghan in 2020.
