Amid heavy attacks and persistent invasion, Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and Information Policy has shared a video of newly married couple hugging and grooving in a hospital in Kyiv.

"This wedding is taking place in a hospital. The bride is a 23-year-old nurse, Oksana, who lost both legs and some fingers in an explosion. The newlyweds have been together for six years. We wish them countless happy years to come. Ukraine stands strong thanks to people like them," reads the tweet.
