It was not the wedding day they envisaged, but as Russia attacked their country Thursday Yaryna Arieva and her partner Sviatoslav Fursin rushed to tie the knot with the sound of air raid sirens ringing in their ears.
"That was very scary," Arieva, who married her partner at Kyiv's St Michael's monastery, told CNN Thursday.
"It's the happiest moment of your life, and you go out, and you hear that," Arieva, a deputy on the Kyiv City Council, said.
