Figures of Ukrainian sportsmen killed, wounded, captured in war with Russia mount
Zelenskyy’s office has detailed the toll on Ukrainian sport during the Russian invasion, now in a fifth month.
A total of 89 athletes and coaches have died “as a result of hostilities,” 13 more have been captured by the Russians, and “more than a hundred thousand Ukrainian athletes do not have the opportunity of training,” Zelenskyy has said.
Many sportsmen and women enlisted in the Ukrainian military when the war started, and government declared martial law.
The recruits had two-week training before they headed for frontlines.
