Tribute to Ukrainian athletes killed in Russian invasion installed outside parliament
Briefly

A temporary installation outside the Houses of Parliament in London honors the 487 Ukrainian athletes who have been killed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with the powerful display showcasing their names, ages, and sports. This tribute comes as Ukraine's presence at the 2024 Olympic Games sees a significant decrease, with a small team of 140 athletes, the smallest representation ever in Ukraine's summer Olympic history.

This shift underscores the stark reality of the situation and the sacrifices being made by Ukrainian athletes amid the crisis.
