The celebration has been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic.

On July 25, Yulia Zorii, presenter of the ICTV programme Morning in the Big City, married Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister — Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories — Oleksii Reznikov. The TV channel's press service reported this.

The couple announced their engagement in February 2020, but the wedding date had to be postponed due to the spread of the coronavirus. A celebration with a large number of guests is also being postponed because of the epidemiological situation.

“We registered the marriage at the Administrative Services Centre at the Kalanchak checkpoint on the administrative border between Crimea and Kherson Oblast. There we decided to hold the most important event for us, to show that any Ukrainian can do the same thing. We wanted to test everything on ourselves and in this way be useful to others,” — the deputy prime minister said.

Only witnesses attended the ceremony, Oleksii Reznikov's brother, Yulia Zorii's sister and “two star guests.”

The presenter said that during quarantine they “understood a lot together, rethought, reassessed,” and the postponement of the wedding date did not upset them — “it is just a formality.”
