A member of the royal family considered the Ukrainian team’s participation in the Invictus Games incredible and very emotional.

Prince Harry called the participation of the Ukrainian national team in the Unconquered Games incredible and very emotional.

In an interview with the BBC, he said that most members of the Ukrainian team just take off their uniforms and come to the competition, and after that is completed, they will return it and go to the front.

In addition, among the Ukrainians there were those killed during the fighting.

“It is very emotional to think that they jumped on the bus … Before that, they had to make a decision to come and it is hard anyway.

I think, people should know and remember that most of the Ukrainian group is in the ranks. They took off their military uniforms, put on their command uniforms and went here. And they will come back later. It’s incredible that they’re here.

I don’t think these games would be the same without the Ukrainian team. They lost four members of their team, one of them was an archery coach, ”Prince Harry said.

Remember that the Invictus Games are an international Paralympic -style sporting competition, launched by Prince Harry in 2014.

The competition was attended by military personnel and veterans who received injuries, wounds, contusions or illness while conducting combat missions in homeland defense.
