Prince Harry reportedly had a
motivational talk with a Ukrainian medic who was held captive by Russian
forces.
The Telegraph recently
reported that a paramedic Yulia Paievska detailed how the Duke of Sussex
inspired her to continue fighting for her country.
The 53-year-old told the
outlet that she was kidnapped by a Russian soldier in March on her way to
Mariupol.
She recalled being tortured
and interrogated for three months as she heard the false claims of Ukraine
being eradicated in the invasion.
Paievska also shared that
Harry talked to her on a phone call one week after her release.
She said he spoke ‘strongly
and sincerely’ about the conflict in Ukraine and “simply inspired me to
continue to fight.”
“He said that he supports
Ukraine and all of us,” she recalled.
Meanwhile, Paievska also
shared: “I am very grateful to Prince Harry because it was after the Invictus
Games… that the Russians stopped interrogating and torturing me.
“I think spreading the word to
the whole world influenced their decision to trade me in a prisoner exchange,”
she added.
