The funeral of Irish man Alex Ryzhuk, who was killed in Ukraine last year, will take place on Wednesday in the western Ukrainian village of Kryliv.

The 20-year-old, who was born in Dublin to Ukrainian parents, had been serving alongside military forces in east Ukraine as a volunteer when he went missing in August 2024 and was presumed dead.

Last week, DNA tests commissioned by his family confirmed remains returned from the frontlines were his, according to Irish broadcaster RTÉ.

A memorial mass will be held on 23 November at Donnycarney Church in Dublin.

He had left Ireland for Ukraine soon after his 18th birthday.

Mr Ryzhuk was the fourth Irish man to die fighting in the war in Ukraine.

A number of people from the island of Ireland have died in the war since it began in February 2022.
