Source: Suspilne
Alla Senchenko had been in the military since 2018. She later transferred to the reserves but returned to the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the first day of the full-scale invasion. In 2022, while defending Lyman in the Donetsk region, she was taken prisoner; Russian soldiers shot and killed two of her comrades right before her eyes.
Alla Senchenko spent 8 months and 11 days in captivity. After returning to Ukraine, physical exercise was an essential part of her rehabilitation to help her muscles function normally again. Thus, the soldier joined the Ukrainian Invictus Games team and became a participant in the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada.
