'This is a miracle': Ukraine team reveals harrowing Paralympics act
Ukraine's #Paralympic committee president Valeriy #Sushkevych expressed how important it was for the athletes to be competing in this year's Games.
"Our presence at the Paralympics is not merely a presence, this is a sign that Ukraine is and will remain a country," Sushkevych told reporters.
Sushkevych went on to say how difficult it was for some of the athletes to escape the war-torn country due to Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion.
"More than four days and four nights we (took to) come here," he added. "It's a miracle that we're here..."
Sushkevych mentioned that some of the athletes were directly in Russia's firing line as they tried to leave Ukraine.
"Many of our team members had difficulties escaping the bombs," he added.
