Just hours after their wedding on the first day of Russia’s invasion, Yaryna Arieva and Sviatoslav Fursin joined the fight to protect their country.
The couple were due to get married in May but rushed to tie the knot in Kyiv last week when Russia invaded, before joining the Ukrainian resistance.
Wearing camouflage jackets and holding a rifle, the couple told CNN’s Don Lemon about spending their honeymoon living in a city under siege and taking up arms to fight against Russian troops invading their homeland.
