UPDATE: Really getting upset. My son hasn't heard from his Ukrainian girlfriend in 56 hours.

I realize it might be hard to charge up a phone in a bomb shelter, but we're worried.

***********************************
My son got a text early today. She's still in hiding and alive.

It must be impossible to stay in touch. I hope she’s ok, maybe she is trying to get out of the country.

Don’t think the worst and believe she is safe.

Communications become very difficult. After hurricane Andrew I wasn't able to make contact for days.

Putin's thugs are systematically attacking Ukraine's infrastructure...power, communications etc..

Ukrainians are showing innovation and resiliency. They are united in their will to survive and defy...she will find a way to contact him.

Tell him to keep his phone charged...she'll find a way when it's safe for her to do so.
