Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample has got his family trapped in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion and he and his wife Angelina Danylyuk are being vocal about it to draw attention to the situation. They believe there could be a solution to their family getting trapped in the war-torn country.
Total Pro Sports has more on the situation.
Angelina, who goes by Ang, was born in Ukraine. Most of her family is currently trapped in the country amid Russia’s invasion.
“I call them up on the phone, and they answer it. They’re sitting in the dark in the basement. I’m like what’s going on?” Angelina Sample, Drew’s wife, told co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Steve Doocy.
Ang’s grandparents, aunt, and their families, including children, are all stranded in the country.
Things are only getting worse as they are desperately trying to evacuate her grandmother, who lives in a rural village currently without electricity and temperatures have dropped below freezing.
“The conditions are pretty miserable for a 76-year-old woman to be hiding in a basement at her age. It’s just dangerous for her to even get in and out, but to stay in her house is even more dangerous with air raid sirens going off,” said Ang.
One of her cousin’s in Ukraine just turned 18-years-old and might be expected to pick up a gun and fight. Men ages 18 to 60 are required to not leave the country and stay and fight.
“A lot of these young men who have never held a weapon in their hands now have to potentially go fight in the Army,” said Ang.
Hoping Angelina’s family get evacuated from Ukraine to the United States. It’s getting scarier in Ukraine.
Send your prayers to them.
