Prince Harry met war victims in Ukraine today during secret trip following court appearance in UK
PRINCE Harry has met with war victims and veterans in a surprise visit to Ukraine.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, made the unannounced trip today as part of his ongoing work with wounded veterans, a spokesperson said.
He went to the Superhuman Center, an orthopedic clinic in Lviv, that treats and rehabilitates wounded military personnel and civilians.
The dad-of-two saw how the services are rolled out in a war-torn country.
The center provides prosthetics, reconstructive surgery and psychological help free of charge.
Harry, who served 10 years in the British Army, has worked tirelessly on providing support for injured veterans since founding the Invictus Games in 2014.

The Duke was accompanied by a contingent from the Invictus Games Foundation, including four veterans who have been through similar rehabilitation experiences.
Harry's visit to Ukraine was not announced until after he had left.
His trip came after he spent two days in London, appearing in High Court over his security battle.
He is appealing the British governments decision to strip him of his government-funded protection after he quit working as a member of the royal family in 2020 and moved to California.
Harry is the second member of the royal family to visit Ukraine after his aunt, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
The royal became the first British royal to travel to the country last year since the invasion by Russia in 2022.
Meanwhile, King Charles, 76, welcomed President Zelensky, 47, to Sandringham after his "bruising" Oval Office meeting.
And Prince William met with Ukrainian refugees during a two day visit to Estonia last month.
This follows Harry begging "my life is stake" as he appealed against the withdrawal of his publicly-funded security while in the UK.
The Duke brought the case against the Home Office and the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec).
Harry claimed he was "singled out" after his round-the-clock royal protection was stripped in the wake of Megxit.
He also attempted to sue the Home Office because it refused to spend taxpayers' money on bodyguards after he left the Royal Family.

But in February last year, High Court judge Sir Peter Lane rejected the duke's case and ruled Ravec's approach was not irrational or procedurally unfair.
Harry returned to the Court of Appeal in London to appeal against the ruling.
