Prince Harry visited Ukraine’s Invictus Games in Lviv, reported Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration.
He personally supported our service members during the wheelchair rugby competition.
“And this is especially moving, because it was Prince Harry who founded the Invictus Games in 2014. And now he has come to Ukraine to stand alongside our Defenders, for whom sport has become an important part of recovery after injuries,” Kozytskyi noted.
This year, around 500 participants from across Ukraine registered for the All-Ukrainian Invictus Games in Lviv.
Based on the results of the competition, a national team of 60 veterans and service personnel will be formed to represent our country at the international Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027.
“It is particularly pleasing that the wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby competitions were able to be held at the Lviv Regional Children and Youth Sports School. As part of the regional programme, we made it fully inclusive. Thank you to Prince Harry for this support for our people. It is very valuable that Ukraine and our service members have such friends,” the head of the Regional Military Administration added.
