- The move is a protest against Harry’s revelation that he killed 25 Taliban fighters.
A Russian artist has said he will create a sculpture out of human blood at a protest against Prince Harry who announced he killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.
Andrei Molodkin plans to take blood donated by Afghans for the sculpture and project it in St. Paul’s Cathedral later this week.
The Duke of Sussex revealed in his controversial Spare memoir earlier this year that he killed the fighters while serving in Afghanistan.
Harry referred to the Taliban members he killed in combat as “chess pieces” removed from the board.
He also said that 25 “is not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but it doesn’t embarrass me either.”

Harry revealed in his book earlier this year that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while fighting in Afghanistan.
The prince has drawn criticism for the revelation, including from Russian artist Molodkin.
He said sky news the comments in Harry’s book had made him “very, very angry”.
He also said that he planned to “drench St. Paul’s Cathedral with the blood of the Afghan people.”
Added Molodkin: “They read that they are just ‘chess figures’… for a prince who hunts by helicopter.”
‘How he told it, for him it’s like a computer game.’
The artist said four Afghans in Calais had donated their blood for the projects and he hopes five more in the UK will do the same.
Around 1,250 ml of blood will be used inside a sculpture of the royal coat of arms.
Molodkin plans to project an image of the sculpture on St Paul’s Cathedral along with a video of Prince Harry.

Molodkin previously made a similar sculpture of Vladimir Putin using the blood of Ukrainian soldiers.
He claimed that Afghan donors to the project were “very angry” at Harry’s comments.
The sculptor is a former soldier in the Soviet Army and now lives in the south of France.
He previously made a huge portrait of Vladimir Putin with blood donated by Ukrainian soldiers.
Molodkin says he cannot return to Russia because he fears the Putin regime will imprison him for his work.
