Prince Harry has issued a powerful plea for stronger US leadership in the Ukraine conflict, setting the stage for an unusual public exchange with President Donald Trump.
Speaking at the 18th Kyiv Security Forum on April 23, 2026, the 41-year-old Duke of Sussex urged the President to 'step up' on Russia's war in Ukraine, arguing that the United States holds a 'singular role' in global security, rooted in its historic role as a guarantor of Ukrainian sovereignty.
