The life and courage of former Invictus Games champion and Ukraine team captain Sergiy Ilnystkyi has been honoured after he was killed in action while defending his homeland.

Colonel Sergiy Ilnytskyi died while fighting Russian forces in Donbas in August, just three weeks before Invictus 2023 started. He is the twelfth member to have been lost in the fight against Russia.

The members of Team Ukraine who have been killed were honoured in a memorial event which was organised by fellow competitors.
