Ukraine: Woman marries on first day of military operations by Russia

Kyiv, Ukraine: It is well said that “love knew no bounds”. This saying has been proved by a 21-year-old Ukrainian woman who got married on the initial day when the Russian military was invading the country. The lady’s wedding was scheduled for the month of May, but seeing the current situation, the couple decided to get married prior to the wedding date. 

Yaryna Arievagot – who works as a deputy at Kyiv City Council, planned her wedding amid the air raid sirens in the Ukrainian capital.    

Arievagot stated, “We may be can die, and we just wanted to be together before all of that”. 

A Facebook page posted the wedding pictures of the couple with a beautiful heartfelt caption and showered blessing for the people. 

The post cites, “Ukraine is important to continue to resist fear, put your hope in the Lord, & find reasons to rejoice even in the darkest of times.” 

“Therefore, the whole family of the local Orthodox Church of Ukraine today – we congratulate the young family of Yaryna & Svyatoslav, who has now been surrounded in the Trichsvyatelsky Temple, on the bell of the St. Michael’s Golden Monastery.”

“At the entrance to the temple, they were roared by pigeons, & at the exit, they met air defence sirens. May God bless this young couple.” 

“Let us continue to be courageous & pray for our nation, our people and our defenders, and remember, “They will fight against you, but will not defeat you; because I am with you”, the post further adds. 

People have also poured blessings to the couple while commenting on the post.
