The number of missing Ukrainians has increased 5-fold in 18 months of the war. As of September 5, 2023, the number of missing persons has grown to 35,114. Thousands of lives lost or in captivity - all due to Russian aggression. This is a tragic consequence of their actions.

I wouldnt have been able to do the cycling without the help and support from @icetrikes. I had never ridden a trike prior to the @InvictusGamesDE. Now I have a new lease of life 🥰🙏♥️ – at Rochdale, England
Victory again for ICE Trike riders at the @InvictusGamesDE Düsseldorf 2023, Germany. Veterans from all nations competed again in Dusseldorf at the 2023 Invictus Games. Prince Harry and Meghan opened the games. Kelly, Benjamin and Gregory all took gold and silver medals in the recumbent cycling events. Well done guys for smashing it again!
