French teacher Pjotr Vyerko, 81, holds a rifle in his house which was damaged by the shock waves of a Russian airstrike in Gorenka, outside the capital Kyiv, Ukraine, Wednesday, March 2, 2022. Vyerko told the Associated Press that he's prepared to use his rifle to shoot invaders because he has a daughter and grandson. "If they come here, I'll jab them with a pitchfork if I don't have weapons -- but I do have weapons," he said. (AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda), APTOPIX
