Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, honored the memory of Ukraine’s fallen servicemen and women during a visit to the National Military Memorial Cemetery.

According to Ukrinform, Mykola Kalashnyk, Head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration, reported this on Telegram.

“As part of his visit to Ukraine, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, together with Minister for Veterans Affairs Nataliia Kalmykova, honored the memory of our fallen defenders at the National Military Memorial Cemetery,” Kalashnyk wrote on Telegram.

He noted that many graves at the site remain unidentified, with families still awaiting news about their loved ones.

“Today, there are many graves here where the names have not yet been established. Many families are still waiting for word about their relatives. This is one of the most painful aspects of this war,” he said.

Kalashnyk thanked Prince Harry for his visit and for personally paying tribute to Ukrainian soldiers, adding that the attention of such high-profile guests is an important sign of support for Ukraine and respect for the sacrifices made by its people.
