A few days ago, a Ukrainian couple who got married became known on social networks, only a few hours later to pick up rifles and go out to defend their country from the Russian military invasion.
The young people identified as Yaryna Arieva and Sviatoslav Fursin spent their first day of marriage defending their country, regardless of the risks.
Although the wedding was planned for the month of May, the couple stated that they were no longer sure of what the future held for them, in the midst of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, according to media reports such as CNN.
Arieva and Fursin trained in the Territorial Defense Forces, which are made up mostly of civilians who voluntarily decide to defend their nation.
“Right now, we are here and we are doing everything we can. So there is a lot of work to do, but even so, I hope everything goes well”, said Arieva according to local media.
