Prince Harry meets war victims in unannounced visit to Ukraine

Source: AP News

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry met with war victims on Thursday during an unannounced visit to Ukraine as part of his ongoing work with wounded veterans, a spokesperson said.

Harry visited the Superhumans Center, an orthopedic clinic in Lviv that treats and rehabilitates wounded military personnel and civilians, to see top-notch services provided in a country in the midst of war. The center provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help free of charge.

The trip into western Ukraine, a region frequently targeted by Russian missiles, was only announced after he had left the country.

Harry, who served 10 years in the British Army, has made helping injured soldiers one of his most prominent causes. He founded the Invictus Games in 2014 to offer wounded veterans the challenge of competing in sports events similar to the Paralympics.

Thank you Harry. You have set a great example. I hope more than a few U.S. politicians will take notice and change their ways about Ukraine. You are your mother's child.

It’s convenient to have one group or even one person to beat to a bloody pulp and be a distraction from whatever. Everything the US right wing hates about uppity women gets projected onto Hillary. Murdoch’s media empire made a fortune off Hillary.

As for Harry, early on in life his older brother was tagged the “good boy” and he was tagged the “bad boy” no matter what. Future King versus Spare Parts. Perfectly mannered wealthy British wife versus Dusky American Actress who’s no doubt a gold-digger. Sells tabloids like a charm, and if someone like Diana or Meghan gets suicidal from the constant lies, they just need to grow a thicker skin.
