"We had one mission when we started preparing to compete," the Team Ukraine competitor said.

"Now our mission is to say to the whole world about unbroken Ukraine.

"Ukrainians need more and more and more weapons because the Russian army is a big army.

"We fight with one of the biggest armies in the world. We understand it is our fight, but we need support and new weapons."

Speaking through a translator, Bezkaravainyi told Forces News that he is competing at the Invictus Games as a way of spreading a message.
