Overview
- Prince Harry, who arrived in Kyiv by overnight train from Poland on Thursday, delivered a keynote at the Kyiv Security Forum calling for an immediate end to Russia’s war.
- In his speech, he urged U.S. leaders to honor security assurances tied to Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons, saying sustained support underpins global stability.
- He condemned what he called systematic war crimes, citing forced transfers of Ukrainian children that he said would draw International Criminal Court consequences.
- After the remarks, President Donald Trump told reporters that Prince Harry was not speaking for the UK, a public rebuttal to the Kyiv appeal later that day.
- On Friday, he visited Bucha to see HALO Trust de‑mining work and met Invictus veterans, later telling ITV he will always be part of the royal family ahead of the King’s U.S. state visit next week.
