Prince Harry has issued a number of claims since arriving in Kiev, Ukraine for his unannounced visit this Thursday. What started with a direct message to Russian President Vladimir Putin recently involved US President Donald Trump, and it all happened at the Kyiv Security Forum.
During the conversation he reminded the president of his wife’s homeland, “The United States has a singular role in this story not only because of its power, but also because when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, the United States was part of the assurance that Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders would be respected.”
He also said, “This is a moment for American leadership, a moment for America to show that it can honor its international treaty obligations, not for charity but for its enduring role in global security and strategic stability.”
As for Europe’s role, he also said, “Europe has stood up in profound ways. And that support matters, and Ukraine knows it. The task now is to match stamina with speed.”
But it was near the end that the Duke of Sussex became more explosive in his comments and pointed out the clear difference between international law and respect for human life that Ukraine is showing versus Russia as given the invasion, the royal feels “the difference couldn’t be clearer.”
Furthermore, before concluding he also said, “Under international law, this forced transfer of children from one national group to another is not just a war crime. It can constitute an act of genocide when carried out with the intent to destroy the identity of a people.”
