Amid the deadly Russian invasion of Ukraine, a Ukrainian couple was married at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Kyiv with Mayor Vitali Klitschko on hand to congratulate them. Video released by Klitschko shows the couple, as those gathered for the ceremony chant and sing the national anthem. The couple is serving with the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force, a citizen volunteer force.
"Consistent with other private events hosted by the First Family and following the traditions of previous White House wedding festivities in prior Administrations, the Biden family will be paying for the wedding activities that occur at the White House," LaRosa said.
