Prince Harry addressed political leaders in his powerful speech as his father, King Charles, heads to the United States.
The Duke of Sussex made a surprise return to Ukraine to take part in the Kyiv Security Conference.
While delivering his speech, Harry sent a clear message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that war benefits none.
He said, "There is still a moment - now - to stop this war, to prevent further suffering for Ukrainians and Russians alike, and to choose a different course."
Harry said that the conflict offers victory to one, as in the end, humans have to pay the price.
The highlight of his speech was his emotional plea to US President Donald Trump, asking him to intervene and stop the war.
King Charles' youngest son said, "This is a moment for American leadership – a moment for America to show that it can honour its international treaty obligations,"
"Not out of charity, but out of its enduring role in global security and strategic stability," Archie and Lilibet's father further added.
He also uplifted the spirits of Ukrainians, saying that the world sees you and respects you in times of extreme crisis.
