Anna’s parents are reportedly staying with friends in their home in a prosperous suburb moderately close to the city center of Kyiv, but not part of it. Her brother, sister in law and baby have retreated to the Carpathian mountains, presumably out of immediate harm’s way. Luke and Anna were planning to drive to the Polish border from Sweden to see if they can get any of her relatives out, and if they cannot come, then bring out other refugees.
