20-year-old Irish-Ukrainian Alex Ryzhuk from Dublin is missing in action and presumed dead after a suspected Russian drone attack in eastern Ukraine. Ryzhuk joined the Ukrainian Foreign Legion after turning 18 to fight against the Russian invasion. His disappearance is the latest in a series of incidents involving foreigners involved in the conflict, and the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ireland is providing consular assistance to his family. If confirmed, Ryzhuk would be the fourth and youngest Irishman to die fighting for Ukraine against Russian forces.
