Trapped in Ukraine: Bengals tight end, wife sound alarm with family stuck in war-torn nation

NFL tight end Drew Sample and his wife Angelina joined 'Fox & Friends' Monday to speak out as their family remains stranded in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.

Angelina, who goes by the name Ang, was born in Ukraine. On her mother’s side, Ang’s grandparents, aunt, and their families, including children, are all stranded in the country. Her father’s mom, brothers, and their families are all trapped as well. Ang and Drew are looking to evacuate her grandmother, who lives in a rural village currently without electricity. Over the last few days, temperatures have dropped below freezing, coinciding with the occasional snowfall. Ang told ‘Fox & Friends’ her grandmother hides in the cold, damp basement, typically used as a closet for cans to be stored in the winter. She listens to the radio for news on when it is safe to leave. 

"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.
