Cupid’s arrow sparks romance among Ukraine protesters
Kyiv (AFP) – She dropped her job to join the revolution against a hated regime. Injured, she was treated by a young man who fell in love with her and a month later, the two were married.
The storyline could be that of Hollywood’s newest blockbuster, but it happened in real life on Kyiv’s Independence Square, where passion has blossomed among the grimy tents of Ukraine’s barricaded anti-government enclave.
It all began in December when Yulia Serko, a slim and stylish 25-year-old, left her hometown of Rivne in western Ukraine after protesters rose up in the capital against the president’s decision to edge away from the European Union and move closer to Russia.
