LVIV (The Thursday Times) — Britain ke Prince Harry itwar ko maghribi Ukraine ke shehar Lviv ke achanak daurey par pohanche, jahan unhon ne mulk ke qaumi Invictus Games mein zakhmi sabiq fauijon se mulaqat ki aur unhein bataya ke un ke khayal mein woh jang jeet jayenge. Lviv ke ilaqai governor Maksym Kozytskyi ne is daurey ki ittela di, jo Russia ke mukammal paimane par hamle ke aghaz 2022 ke baad Harry ka Ukraine ka chautha daura hai.
42 saala Duke of Sussex ne wheelchair rugby ke khilariyon ko Ukraine ki agle saal Birmingham, England mein hone wale Invictus Games ki team mein jagah ke liye muqabla karte dekha. Qaumi muqable ke liye taqriban 500 sabiq fauijon aur service members ne naam darj karaye hain, jis se 60 rukni dasta muntakhib hoga, jo bataya jata hai ke Ukraine ka ab tak ka sab se bada dasta hoga.
Harry ne kaha, “Main jab bhi Ukraine wapas aata hoon, mujhe khush amdeed aur garmjoshi mehsoos hoti hai”, aur mazeed kaha ke woh yahan aane ke liye “khatra mol le kar” aaye hain. Unhon ne sabiq fauijon se kaha, “Aap jang jeet jayenge aur phir aap kamyabi ke liye tayyar honge.”
Jangi tibbi amle ki conference
Unhon ne Lviv mein tibbi amle ki ek conference se bhi khitab kiya, jis ka ehtimam Superhumans ne kiya tha, jo jang mein zakhmi hone walon ki bahali mein maharat rakhne wala clinic hai. Ukraine mein taqriban 14 lakh jangi sabiq fauji hain, jin mein se 10 fisad se zyada moazoor hain. Harry ne kaha ke Ukraini mahireen ab jang ke halat mein kaam kar rahe hain jin ka samna doosre mumalik ne nahin kiya, aur yahan seekhe gaye asbaq ko “duniya bhar mein suna jana chahiye”.
Rugby ke ek match mein Harry ne Valery Odainyk ko gale lagaya, jo taang se mahroom hain, pichhle saal Canada mein Invictus Games mein shareek hue the aur ab bhi Ukraini afwaj mein khidmat anjam de rahe hain. Harry ne poochha, “To aap ko training ke liye waqt kab milta hai?” Odainyk ne unhein bataya ke moazoor afrad ke khelon mein un ki shamooliyat “Invictus Games se shuru hui aur isi se jari hai”.
Jang ke baad ka wada
“Jab jang khatam ho gi aur Ukraine jeet jayega, to hum Invictus Games ke inaqad mein aap ki madad ke liye tayyar honge,” Harry ne sabiq fauijon se kaha. Unhon ne 2014 mein Invictus Games ki bunyad zakhmi, majrooh aur beemar fauji ahalkaron aur sabiq fauijon ki khelon ke zariye madad ke liye rakhi thi.
Harry is se pehle April 2025 mein Lviv ke Superhumans markaz gaye the aur usi saal September mein Ukraine dobara aaye. Is saal April mein woh Kyiv aur Bucha bhi gaye. Un ka taza daura aise waqt mein hai jab Ukraini sadar kehte hain ke satellite ki raftar par pabandiyan Russi hamlon ko kamyab hone de rahi hain aur mohaz-e-jang par isi ka asar hai.
