Prince William's Surprise Visit to Troops Near Ukrainian-Polish Border.

Prince William made an unannounced trip to Poland to thank British and Polish troops involved in providing support to Ukraine, before meeting refugees who have fled the conflict with Russia to hear of their experiences. The British deployment in Poland is part of a NATO build-up of strength on its eastern flank following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The royal’s trip, which had not been publicized in advance, is taking place under tight security, but his spokesperson said William was very keen it went ahead, and that it was something he had requested.
